Yes of course. Nitrox tables can be used for the SCR level.
For the CCR course special constant partial pressure tables are supplied by us. 
All our rebreathers are equipped with oxygen monitors, so that at all times you will know what percentage of oxygen you are breathing.

We have units available for rental and we would be more than happy to take you on guided fun dives so you can gain additional experience safely. 

Rebreather diving involves a complete change (to Open Circuit diving) in buoyancy control, and good buoyancy control is essential in all dive activities, therefore we will spend a lot of time around the 10 meter (33ft) zone (or shallower) where the differences in pressure (and thus in buoyancy control) are the greatest to ensure that you will become a competent rebreather diver. However for safety and liability reasons we will limit all our training dives (3 dives) to a maximum of 18 meters (60ft) however the 3 additional dives we will limit to a depth of 30 meters (100ft).

Besides your certification cards and logbook you need to bring the basics (mask, snorkel, fins and wetsuit) with you. Although Bali is near the equator and in the tropics, water temperature may vary from a chilling 19°C (66°F) to more than comfortable 30°C (86°F), therefore we do recommend you to use a full wetsuit of a 5mm (or more) thickness. Always keep in mind that your bottom times on a rebreather are much longer than in open circuit (bottom times of 90 minutes or more are not exceptional) and therefore you might get cold after 45 minutes, even in 30°C (86°F) water.

Diving in Bali is excellent all year round. We have two main seasons here, the dry monsoon (from May till October) and the wet monsoon (from November till April). During the dry monsoon weather conditions are better (more sun, less rain, nice temperatures), but you won’t be alone on most of the dive sites. In the wet monsoon (more rain, less sun and sometimes very warm even at night) there are fewer tourists in Bali and thus fewer divers in the water.

 In accordance with both PADI and IATA standards you need to be 18 prior to the start of the course.

Yes. IATA is the training agency of H.B.Technology (previous Aquatek), the manufacturer of the Voyager rebreather and the only certifying agency for all next levels on the Voyager and thus well known amongst rebreather divers and worldwide recognized.

For the SCR course we will issue you with both the IATA and PADI distinctive specialty Voyager SCR certification (PADI is the world leader in diving education)

No. You will need to focus on your buoyancy, effective gas control, etc, so students are not permitted to dive with underwater cameras (during the training dives). After certification however, you are more than welcome to bring your camera. 

Unfortunately you will first have to be certified on the Voyager rebreather before purchasing one for personal use. Once you are a certified Voyager rebreather diver (SCR level is sufficient) you will be able to buy your own unit.

No. Although all rebreathers use the same principle, each rebreather works slightly differently and therefore each type or brand of rebreather requires training specific to that rebreather. This is so for all rebreathers worldwide.
