It is our pleasure to announce that Orca Diveclubs has just finalised an agreement with SSI (Scuba Schools International). This means that as of immediately all Orca Diveclubs will be able to offer the complete range of SSI Diver and Instructor training programs.
We very much welcome and look forward to this positive cooperation and really are looking forward to a successful future together with SSI.

The ORCA Dive Club Soma Bay is looking for Rebreather Instructors to complete the team.

We are currently looking for instructors for the following units: Poseidon Mk6 “Discovery”, rEvo, A.P. Inspiration/ Evolution.
You should be able to teach in German and English.
Please send your CV with picture to: Wolfgang

The major advantages of closed circuit rebreather diving is bubble- free operation, warm, moist breathing gas, reducing the risk of decompression sickness, a constant PO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) you have a guaranteed best mix regardless of your depth. Add to this the extended no-decompression times, with superior efficient gas consumption, you will realize why more and more divers are seeking rebreather training. During this 4 day programme you will be trained in all aspects of correct operation of your Poseidon Mk6 “Discovery”. This will include 1 confined water session and 5 open water dives during which you will repeat and learn new skills for rebreather operation under the direct supervision of your SSI instructor. On satisfactory completion of training you will be able to dive to a max. depth of 40m when using air as a diluent. Some of the things that you can expect to learn on your course are:
- Unit assembly, set-up and preparation to dive.
- Failure mode management (Bail-out gas procedures)
- Self and Buddy rescue skills
- DSMB deployment
TO NAME BUT A FEW
The Poseidon Mk6 “Discovery” is certainly one of the electronically most advanced units worldwide available at the moment, making it very user-friendly and easy to handle. The unit has onboard PO2 monitoring, a pre-packed 2.8 kg absorbent cartridge, minimalasing the risk of problems with CO2 due to improper packing, 2 x 3l on-board cylinders supplying O2 and Air (as the Diluent) as well as an ADV to automatically adjust the volume of gas in the counterlungs for comfortable breathing.

Duration:4 Days
Location: Soma Bay/ Safaga
Course Outline:
4-6 Hours of Theory
1 Confined Water Dive
5 Open Water Dives (totalling at least 300min.)

Note: Price incl. CCR rental/Absorbent/O2/Dive Package

We would just like to let you all know that after nearly a 2 year break from the family Marc Crane has rejoined the Orca Dive Clubs Team.
Many of you (especially the tekkies) will remember Marc from the Orca Dive Club Safaga, where he spent many years guiding and teaching. He will however not be rejoining the team in the Red Sea, but has now accepted a new challenge developing the Orca Dive Club in Flores Indonesia. Marc’s primary objective currently is to establish the diving centre in our new partner hotel The Jayakarta Suites Komodo Flores which is the ideal gateway for everyone to explore the untamed wilderness which is Komodo with its pristine reefs, amazing abundance of marine biodiversity, and encounters with large fish like sharks, mantas and mola mola. Marc will be responsible for setting up the diving services to the high standards that you have come to expect from any Orca Dive Club worldwide. Furthermore Marc will also be looking at establishing rebreather diving and training facilities in both our Indonesian destinations of Bali and Flores as well as covering the logistical support needs of the Rebreather Pool.
We are all very excited by the new opportunities in these exotic and up and coming destinations and hope you are too? For more information or bookings please visit our website.
