JJ-CCR Advanced Rebreather Training

Your direct path to diving the JJ-CCR under RAID, personally trained by a RAID CCR Instructor Trainer & Examiner.

Instant access to your online learning, course preparation modules. Begin training immediately.

Why Choose the jJ-CCR with RAID?

The JJ-CCR Crossover program is designed for already-certified CCR divers who want to transition safely onto the JJ-CCR and align their training with RAID’s unit-specific standards. You’ll consolidate your existing MOD-level experience, learn JJ-specific procedures, and complete a streamlined version of the RAID MOD1, MOD2, and MOD3 pathways.

What This Course Helps You Achieve

  • Unit-Specific Mastery: Learn the exact configuration, checklists, emergency drills, and bailout protocols required to dive the JJ-CCR.

  • Efficient Crossover: Complete a shortened, assessment-based version of RAID MOD1, MOD2, and MOD3 rather than full courses.

  • Standards-Aligned Training: Your crossover follows the RAID General Diving Standards, which require a RAID Core Rebreather Program plus a JJ-CCR unit-specific specialty for certified CCR divers crossing over to a new unit.

  • Progressive Depth & Deco Skills: Confirm and refine your skills from no-decompression CCR dives through to staged decompression, Normoxic Trimix and Hypoxic Trimix profiles, depending on your target level.

  • Real-World Preparedness: Train with an instructor who focuses on realistic drills, bailout planning, and JJ-CCR failure management, so you’re ready for actual dives, not just exam questions.

What You’ll Learn in the RAID JJ-CCR Crossover Course

You’ll develop the skills, confidence, and discipline required to conduct JJ-CCR dives in line with RAID’s MOD1–MOD3 performance requirements. Focus areas include:

  • JJ-CCR assembly, unit checks and start-up sequence

  • Full manufacturer & RAID pre-dive checklists

  • Loop control, buoyancy, and trim on the JJ-CCR

  • Oxygen control (automatic & manual set-point management)

  • Diluent management, ADV use and loop flushing

  • Bailout planning and execution (OC bailout & off-board gas)

  • Rescue skills and team-based problem solving

  • JJ-CCR specific fault-finding and emergency drills

  • Decompression planning and gas strategies at each level

  • Hypoxic Trimix procedures and deep bailout considerations (MOD3)

RAID JJ-CCR Crossover: Course at a Glance

Available Levels:

  • MOD1: Deco 40m or Limited Trimix 45m

  • MOD2: Normoxic Trimix 60m

  • MOD3: Hypoxic Trimix 80–100m

JJ-CCR Crossover Prerequisites

To enrol, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old

  • Be a certified CCR diver with a recognised training agency

Hold the appropriate existing level for the crossover you want:

  • MOD1 crossover: Existing CCR certification to at least 30–40m level

  • MOD2 crossover: Existing Normoxic Trimix CCR certification

  • MOD3 crossover: Existing Hypoxic Trimix CCR certification

RAID Standards require that a certified rebreather diver crossing over to a new unit completes the RAID Core Rebreather Program and a unit-specific Specialty, and demonstrates all skills to the level sought before certification is awarded.

MASTERING THE JJ-CCR AT EACH MOD LEVEL

Your training is delivered personally by Stuart Girdler, RAID CCR Instructor Trainer & Examiner, who ensures every student meets the RAID standards while applying them to real dives.

Training follows a three-stage, experience-based progression:

MOD 1: RAID & JJ-CCR Orientation

Complete the RAID Core CCR academics and MOD1-level skills verification on the JJ-CCR:

  • RAID online CCR theory, knowledge reviews and exam

  • JJ-CCR configuration, assembly and pre-dive checklists

  • Buoyancy, trim and loop control in confined water

  • Manual oxygen control and set-point management

  • Basic failures: high / low PO₂, flood response, bailout to OC

  • Safe no-decompression dives to 40m

MOD 2: Building Depth & Deco Skills

Crossing at Normoxic level, you’ll complete a condensed RAID MOD2 verification:

  • Normoxic Trimix theory refresh and RAID-style planning

  • Set-point changes and diluent flushes at depth

  • Multiple deco stop management on the JJ-CCR

  • Increased task loading and situational awareness

  • Advanced bailout planning, including off-board options

  • JJ-CCR failure scenarios rehearsed at realistic depths

MOD 3: Hypoxic Trimix Performance

Crossing at Hypoxic level, this is where you complete your JJ-CCR deep-level evaluation:

  • Hypoxic Trimix JJ-CCR procedures to RAID

  • Full-profile deep dives within RAID MOD3 limits (80–100m, conditions-dependent)

  • Complex bailout scenarios and team rescue skills

  • Deeper decompression strategies and contingency planning

  • Final JJ-CCR skills sign-off for RAID MOD3 certification

Instant access to your online learning, course preparation modules. Begin training immediately.

CERT LIMITS & OPERATIONAL PROTOCOLS (JJ-CCR)

  • Depth Limits:

    • MOD1 up to 40 m

    • MOD2 up to 60 m (Normoxic Trimix)

    • MOD3 up to 80–100 m (Hypoxic Trimix)

  • Loop PO₂: Maximum planned PO₂ as prescribed by RAID Standards

  • Gases: Air, Nitrox and Trimix as permitted for MOD level

  • Skill Focus: General CCR skills plus JJ-CCR unit-specific protocols

  • Certification: Valid for diving and maintaining the JJ-CCR within your certified rating

  • Unit Use: Training and certification are unit-specific to the JJ-CCR

Train With a RAID CCR Trainer & Examiner

Your JJ-CCR crossover is delivered personally by Stuart Girdler, RAID CCR Instructor Trainer & Examiner, with extensive experience across multiple CCR units. Stuart’s teaching philosophy prioritises:

  • Unit-Specific Competence: You leave the course knowing how to set up, troubleshoot and safely dive your JJ-CCR rebreather.

  • Bailout Readiness: Conservative, realistic bailout planning based on your gas consumption, dive objectives and depth.

  • Real-World Drills: Training dives and scenarios that mirror real failures and decision-making, not just scripted skills.

All training is conducted under direct supervision and in line with the RAID General Diving Standards for CCR diver and instructor ratios.

Why Train With Stuart Girdler?

  • Multi-unit qualified instructor

  • Extensive JJ-CCR experience

  • Background in both technical and instructor-level training

  • Over three decades of diving and teaching experience

  • Passionate about building confident, standards-driven CCR divers

How to Begin Your CCR Training

You’re ready to begin converting your existing CCR experience into confident, JJ-CCR-specific mastery. This crossover certifies you to dive the JJ-CCR at the RAID MOD1, MOD2 or MOD3 level you qualify for, once you have:

  • Completed the RAID Core Rebreather academics

  • Completed your unit-specific JJ-CCR training

  • Demonstrated all required RAID skills and procedures for the level sought
