Dolphin SCR

DOLPHIN SCR (level I) User Course

The DOLPHIN SCR is designed to fit to the needs of the recreational diver rebreather by the used of fixed constant flow nozzles that can be easily exchanged depending on the gas mix chosen by the diver. A colour coding system makes it easy to avoid mistakes.

Despite this user-friendly approach, diving with the DOLPHIN SCR demands new skills from the diver and presents potential new problems. The IART unit-specific user course, combined with the use of the course manual, will prepare you with the knowledge and skills needed to safely dive the Dolphin SCR within no-decompression limits to the maximum safe depth of the Nitrox premix used.

This course will prepare you to become a competent, disciplined and knowledgeable SCR diver who understands:

The physiological principles behind rebreather diving
The construction of the unit including assembly, disassembly, cleaning and maintenance
The possible dangers and potential mistakes
How to employ the best diving techniques with the unit
How to rescue another rebreather diver

Theory Presentation

Includes review of nitrox theory, physics and physiology
Familiarisation with all rebreather components including maintenance
Dive planning and execution and emergency procedures
IART rescue module
A written exam concludes the theoretical development.

Practical training

Unit preparation, pre-dive checks
Disassembly, cleaning and disinfection
Dive planning
Dive techniques in confined water followed by open water environments
Protocol in emergency situations
Proof of successful completion of all required training exercises.

A) Course:

Closed Circuit Rebreather "Extended Range" Diver Level II

B) Course objective:This course is designed to provide experience and training with the Classic or Sport KISS CCR for either:

Option A:
CCR II Extended Range (Air) Diver - This course provides the opportunity to safely learn the techniques and theory for CCR decompression dives with air diluent to a maximum depth of 40m

Option B:
CCR II Extended Range (Normoxic Trimix) Diver - This course provides the opportunity to safely learn the techniques and theory for CCR decompression dives with air and normoxic Trimix diluent to a maximum depth of 40m and 60m respectively

C) Prerequisites:

50 minimum 18 years of age,,
certification as an IART CCR I Diver or equivalent,
proof of a minimum of 50 hours diving the Classic or Sport KISS
and a valid diving medical .

D) Course content/duration:

Option A
All theoretical and practical aspects of deep (air diluent) and decompression diving. The classroom sessions explain the physical and physiological hazards of deep diving, the decompression planning, equipment considerations for deep diving, the need of bail-out gas, and all procedures involved. An important point is dive planning using computer-based dive tables such as Z-Plan, Proplanner, etc. The practical part of the course includes 4 dives over at least 3 days with a minimum accumulated dive time of 180 minutes. The instructor-to-student ratio is 1:2.

Option B
Covers all aspects of option A with additional normoxic Trimix theory and 2 normoxic Trimix dives. In total 6 dives over at least 5 days with a minimum accumulated dive time of 300 minutes. The instructor-to-student ratio is 1:2.

E) Support material:

IART CCR Level II manual,
air/nitrox dive tables,
NOAA 0₂-exposure tables,
standard air decompression tables
personal instructor materials
Computer-based dive tables such as Z-Plan, ProPlanner, etc.,
flash-cards,
Instructor manual and Instructor presentation materials.

F) Required equipment:

complete diving equipment,
separate bail-out cylinder,
lift bag, safety reel, knife or tool,
decompression table, slate, depth gauge and bottom timer or computer.
The rebreather should be equipped with an oxygen bail-out second stage

G) Limits:

The maximum depths during training are: Air 40m and normoxic Trimix 60m. Maximum decompression requirements during training should not exceed 10 minutes for option A and 15 minutes for option B normoxic Trimix dives.

H) Practical skills:

The dives should include the proper planning, including calculation of dive profile, gas analysing and labelling, equipment familiarization (Stage bottle removal/replacement, oxygen bail-out r egulator use), emergency and out-of-air procedures (gas sharing, rescue ascent, etc.), ascent reel and lift bag deployment, and proper decompression techniques.

I) Certification requirements:

The student must satisfactorily complete a written exam. Once training requirements are met at the Instructor's discretion, it is necessary to submit an application in order to obtain the corresponding IART certification card. In accordance with IART quality control, the student and Instructor are required to fill in the training protocol form. The instructor must retain this form with the student file.
