MDEA DIVER TRAINING

The MDEA sport technical diving program consists of thirteen multiple certifications for an Open Water Diver to becoming a Trimix/O2 SCR Diver. The complete Rebreather Program is designed to go from simple to complex in both knowledge and skill development. The rebreather program utilizes self-directed knowledge development and hands-on skill development.

NOTE: The intent of the sequence and number of these programs is to provide the diver an opportunity to gain the knowledge, skill and experience, in reasonable steps, to utilize a Rebreather in the Semi-closed Circuit Mode. This allows the FROG Rebreather Diver to choose the Diluent Gas (Air, NITROX, or TRIMIX) that will suit their particular diving needs.

Rebreather Certified Divers

If you are a Rebreather Certified Diver using Pre-mix NITROX, you may (at the instructor's discretion) begin FROG Rebreather training at the TRIMIX/O2 Level. You would need to complete all of the pre-requisite and co-requisite programs prior to receiving your TRIMIX/O2 SCR Certification.
