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 »

Diving on a Rebreather
Learning to Dive on a Rebreather – TDI Closed Circuit Rebreather Courses in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo
Congratulations to Gael Reithmuller on becoming a certified Closed Circuit Rebreather Diver with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah!
Gael completed the 5 day TDI Air Diluent Closed Circuit Rebreather Diver Decompression Procedures Course with our experienced Rebreather Instructor, Billy, in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. During the course Gael completed >700 minutes of diving on the unit (an APD Inspiration). During his training dives Billy and Gael saw a large 1.5 Grey Tip Reef Shark – a nice spot for TARP, our local marine park.
A Semi Closed Rebreather
Gael had previously learned to dive on a semi-closed rebreather with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. It was a natural step for him to progress to wanting to dive on a fully closed circuit rebreather.
Borneo Dream is the only provider of rebreather training in Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia – both semi closed and closed circuit rebreathers. If you are a certified diver and you fancy developing your diving skills, or enjoying longer dives, then learning to dive on a rebreather could be a good choice. Interested?
