Rebreather Association of International Divers

The Rebreather Association of International Divers (RAID) is an organization dedicated to the training and certification of scuba divers and technical divers with a focus on the use of rebreathers. Rebreathers are advanced diving equipment that recirculate the diver's exhaled breath, removing carbon dioxide and adding oxygen, allowing for longer and deeper dives compared to traditional open-circuit scuba systems.
