'Breather diving in Gibraltar

Lewis · 20th October 2007, 16:42

Hi Chaps,

Has anyone had any experience of diving rebreathers in Gib? I've done a search on the net but can't find any info with regards to the dark side.

Any info about how to get sorb, o2 ect would be appreciated,

Regards,

Lewis

Hi,

We did our training over there and the diving is fantastic however we were based with a British instructor who lived in Spain but was a Gibraltarian (he's since moved away).

The diving was great and there is some lovely deep stuff if you want however logisitics is a nightmare. (Sorb, O2 and He.)

We dived with and got O2 from the local shop (but they only had one O2 J for Nitrox) and we had to pump it with our own booster. The sorb came from the UK which our instructor had driven down from a trip back home.

The shop we used was :-
