RAID announce new Core Rebreather Knowledge module
Diver training agency RAID are globally renowned for their involvement in rebreather training. Diving with rebreathers is becoming ever more popular and RAID have recognised the need for a rebreather manual that delves deep into the workings of these units.
RAID aspire to increase the use of rebreathers, while at the same time improve their safety. They believe that training is at the heart of all safe rebreather diving and are committed to bringing the latest, most current rebreather information to divers.
The Core Rebreather Knowledge module is designed to present rebreather divers, both technical and recreational with an advanced level of information.
The manuals are generic and not specific to one unit or even to one style of rebreather. The manuals are rich in information on rebreather design, use, components and much more.
There are five manuals within the module, they are:
- Diving in General
- Equipment
- Physics and Physiology
- Management
- Rebreather Incident and Rescue
When participating in a technical entry-level program with RAID, the Core Rebreather Knowledge manuals will automatically download with the rebreather program that has been selected. Divers completing an entry-level program will be required to complete the quizzes and exam associated with the Core manuals before participating in any in water training.
RAID’s intelligent online system will issue a participation completion e-card once the program has been completed. The RAID Instructor teaching the program is required to confirm this program has been completed.
These manuals can also be purchased as a stand-alone. They are perfect for anyone wanting more rebreather knowledge, someone interested in rebreather, a diver participating in entry level rebreather training or someone participating in advanced level rebreather diving like trimix or cave or wreck.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
