I started scuba diving in 2010 and I was incredibly fascinated by the underwater world. My way led me very quickly into the underwater caves and wreck world. So I discovered this area first OC and then CC. After I finished school, I turned my hobby into my job. I started at Menorca as a guide and gained experience to become a diving instructor the following year. Now i am the owner of Tauchcenter Wuppertal - Meeresauge e.K. and have been training scuba divers since 2017. I teach rebreather courses up to Advanced Recreational Trimix.

I started diving back in 2006 and was hooked immediately. Anything that could help me stay underwater was welcome and soon technical diving became my focus in order to venture deeper and wrecks, caves and diving rebreathers. Technical divers still are a small group among our sport and so in 2019, I decided to train as a Technical Diving Instructor in order to share my passion and coach future buddies. Working together with a local dive shop for equipment and logistics, allowed me to focus on training and mentoring. I am fortunate enough to have dived all over the world, experienced all the facets of technical diving with trimix, rebreathers, wrecks and caves, and still enjoy every time I get a chance to go under the surface.

Barry McGill is an Irish based technical diving instructor and a keen deep wreck explorer. Barry has been technical diving since 2002 and has been qualified on CCR since 2005. Barry first became interested in technical wreck diving when reading a book on the S.S. Laurentic – The Gold Bullion Ship that lies just off his native Donegal. Since his first adventure on this classic wreck, his passion for exploration and wreck diving has been fuelled by the vast marine history that surrounds the Irish coastline. Exploring famous shipwrecks such as the R.M.S. Justicia and H.M.S. Audacious left a major impression on Barry. Barry has been part of numerous expeditions exploring the wrecks including the discovery of the H.M.S. Curacao in 125 metres and the White Star Liner Carinthia in 116 metres. He has also photographed many un-photographed shipwrecks including H.M.S. Viknor and H.M.S. D6. He has also been part of a number of expeditions to the R.M.S. Lusitania and many other classic and virgin shipwrecks. In 2021, Barry was part of the Explorers Club supported project, which aimed to explore the inside the wreck of HMHS Britannic, which lies in 120 m for the very first time. Barry has diving bases in both Limerick and Donegal Ireland, which allows access to the amazing shipwrecks of Malin Head as well as sheltered inland dive sites when weather isn’t favourable. Training can be conducted on a 1-1 basis or in small groups. Barry is willing to train in other locations on request.

I was born in the year 2000 and have been diving since I was 16. I began technical diving at the age of 20, became CCR trimix and cave certified at 22, and have visited numerous outstanding technical diving sites. My experiences range from exploring wrecks in Palau and caves in Florida, to diving in mines in the UK. I hold certifications from various technical diving agencies, including TDI, IANTD, ANDI, NSS-CDS, and GUE. These certifications have equipped me with diverse techniques and philosophies pertinent to technical diving. I have experience in diving and teaching with a variety of rebreathers, including backmount (X-CCR, Liberty), sidemount (Liberty SM), and chestmount (O2ptima CM) systems, as well as their integration in multi-rebreather setups. I continually update my knowledge and skills through regular interactions with prominent explorers and participation in exploration projects. Recently, I have been conducting deep dives in the lochs (lakes) of Scotland. As I am set to pursue an MSc in Maritime Archaeology at the University of Southampton, I look forward to continuing my diving journey as an underwater archaeologist. If you are seeking a young, passionate companion or a professional diving instructor, please feel free to contact me. I am committed to exceeding your expectations!

Some years later I started a journey around the world that led me to a very remote atoll in the Coral Sea, where I met a rebreather for the first time: a semi-closed unit of the first generation; the Atlantis Draeger sport unit. When I returned to Italy, I became one of the first technical divers of the so called “first generation”, very soon I became an IANTD Technical Instructor. Between 1999 and 2002 under the guide of Richard Stevenson and Kevin Gurr, I achieved the majority of the certifications that promoted me among those few technical divers and instructors that changed the way of diving.

During these years, I have tried several models of CCR, and I continue to try them, I never stop learning. Years later, when I met Divesoft and visited the factory, I understood the direction to take. I teach and use CCR Liberty, learning something with each dive. In teaching, I focus on understanding how the CCR Liberty works, how to use it but also the human factor that lies behind the possibility of error. Safety first of all.

Barry McGill is an Irish based technical diving instructor and a keen deep wreck explorer. Barry has been technical diving since 2002 and has been qualified on CCR since 2005. Barry first became interested in technical wreck diving when reading a book on the S.S. Laurentic – The Gold Bullion Ship that lies just off his native Donegal. Since his first adventure on this classic wreck, his passion for exploration and wreck diving has been fuelled by the vast marine history that surrounds the Irish coastline. Exploring famous shipwrecks such as the R.M.S. Justicia and H.M.S. Audacious left a major impression on Barry. Barry has been part of numerous expeditions exploring the wrecks including the discovery of the H.M.S. Curacao in 125 metres and the White Star Liner Carinthia in 116 metres. He has also photographed many un-photographed shipwrecks including H.M.S. Viknor and H.M.S. D6. He has also been part of a number of expeditions to the R.M.S. Lusitania and many other classic and virgin shipwrecks. In 2021, Barry was part of the Explorers Club supported project, which aimed to explore the inside the wreck of HMHS Britannic, which lies in 120 m for the very first time. Barry has diving bases in both Limerick and Donegal Ireland, which allows access to the amazing shipwrecks of Malin Head as well as sheltered inland dive sites when weather isn’t favourable. Training can be conducted on a 1-1 basis or in small groups. Barry is willing to train in other locations on request.

Marcin Bramson, a name synonymous with passion and proficiency in the underwater world, embarked on his aquatic adventure practically from childhood. His initial start into water sports took in 1999 during a windsurfing trip to Egypt, where he discovered the enchanting realm of scuba diving. This experience captivated him so profoundly that every spare moment thereafter was dedicated to diving. By 2003, Marcin's fascination had deepened, propelling him into the realms of technical diving. Four years later, in 2007, he found the limitations of open circuit scuba to no longer satisfy his exploratory spirit. This led him to Closed Circuit Rebreathers (CCR), marking a new chapter in his underwater exploration. Since 2008, CCR technology has been his preferred and most frequently used configuration, reflecting his love for navigating through enigmatic caves and historic wrecks. When the constraints of a conventional career began to interfere his underwater pursuits, Marcin decided to intertwine his dual passions for diving and imparting knowledge by going into the dive business. In 2010, he transitioned into an accredited instructor, dedicating two years to polish his pedagogical skills. In 2012, his commitment to sharing the wonders of the deep led to the establishment of Deep Adventure, a school specializing in rebreather courses. Here, Marcin serves as a Rebreather Instructor Trainer, offering courses across all levels of CCR training. He shares his extensive knowledge and experience, amassed from various diving projects, with a keen focus on fostering a comprehensive learning environment for his students. Marcin Bramson lives by the ethos that a true teacher should forever remain a diligent student, a principle that underpins his approach to both life and teaching. His story is not just about the mastery of the underwater world but also about the relentless pursuit of knowledge and the joy of sharing it with others.

I have been diving since the age of 15, now some 32+ years later I have been to some of the most amazing diving locations in the world. I have taught for some of the largest dive centers in the U.K including running the training side of our business. After teaching I started to travel and used my instructor qualifications to make this possible. In later years I settled down in The Canary Islands, where I owned my own dive center for 10 years. This gave me the opportunity to further my own diving. Looking into new and more demanding types of diving, including the use of technical diving equipment and rebreathers, this allowed me to make more advanced wreck and cave dives, to greater depths. Now after selling my dive center and moving back to England, I have been working throughout Europe as a freelance diving instructor trainer who is able to offer all types of technical diving education up to full trimix levels on both Open Circuit and Rebreathers, including CCR cave.
