Rebreathers in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah!
How Does A Rebreather Work? Rebreather Training with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu Sabah
Rebreathers are a great way of enjoying longer dives (we had rebreather divers on our boat last week in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah who enjoyed a four hour dive!) and getting closer to marine life as there are no noisy bubbles to scare fish away. Imagine diving in silence except for the crackling from corals.

Rebreather Diver
Borneo Dream is the only provider of rebreather training in Sabah, Borneo – we run a range of semi closed and closed circuit rebreather courses from Kota Kinabalu, the capital city of Sabah – so we know a thing or two about rebreathers
Rebreathers are a great option for experienced recreational divers looking to take their diving further. One of the first questions we often get asked by our diving customers when they see a rebreather on our boat is “How does it work?”. The rest of this blog provides a simple overview of the workings of the Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR), with a focus on the APD (or Ambient Pressure Diving Limited) Evolution and Inspiration models. It gets a little technical (as a closed circuit rebreather is more technical than diving on open circuit) – but once you’ve learned how to dive on a rebreather you’ll have the knowledge to prepare and dive safely on a rebreather and enjoy many long dives
So, how does a Closed Circuit Rebreather work? Read the rest of this entry »
