KISS Sidewinder and Spirit
Rebreather courses are unit specific. Cristina is certified and qualified TDI KISS Sidewinder and KISS Spirit rebreather instructor.
If you are uncertain about your choice of unit, you can contact Cristina for a one on one personal conversation about the differences between a sidemount rebreather and a back-mount rebreather and which option would work best for you and your application.
You can order your rebreather directly through Cristina and have it shipped to your residence upon signing up for the course. Please note that a vital piece of your rebreather will be retained by your instructor as per manufacturer and industry rules, to be provided upon start of the course.
