Can I dive with mixed gas in my rebreather if I have an open circuit mixed gas certification?
Not on BSAC branch dives. Whilst there are many common factors in open circuit and rebreather mixed gas diving there are also significant differences. The bailout and emergency strategies can vary considerably, partly due to the huge difference between gas efficiency when using the rebreather (on loop) and when having to bailout to open circuit. For this and other reasons the BSAC strongly recommends that a dedicated rebreather mixed gas certification be obtained.
