Atlantis Gozo: A Home for Rebreather Divers in Malta
Atlantis Dive Centre in Gozo has long been renowned for its commitment to technical diving, catering specifically to rebreather divers with its state-of-the-art facilities and expertise. Located strategically near the Technical Filling Station, Atlantis offers a dedicated area known as the Rebreather Corner, designed to enhance the diving experience for enthusiasts of closed-circuit rebreathers.
What Are They & Why Would I Want to Dive One?
Rebreathers are advanced diving systems that recycle exhaled air, removing carbon dioxide and replenishing oxygen to create a breathing mix suitable for prolonged dives. Unlike traditional scuba gear, rebreathers enable longer bottom times, reduced gas consumption, and minimal bubbles, making them ideal for extended explorations and underwater photography.
