The Intro to TECH Course is an introductory course that expands on recreational training by improving dive planning methods, in-water skills, and streamlining existing gear configurations in a controlled and fun learning environment. 

​

​

This course is perfect for the technical oriented, certified diver looking to use side-mounted cylinders instead of the standard back mount unit.

This course can be taught and used in conjunction with the Advanced Nitrox & Decompression Procedures Course.

​

This ANDP course examines the theory, methods, and procedures of planned stage decompression diving and is designed to combine the Advanced Nitrox and Decompression Procedures course into one course. The objective is to train divers how to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive not exceeding a max. depth of 45m. The most common equipment requirements, equipment set-up, utilization of enriched air nitrox mixes or oxygen for decompression, and decompression techniques are presented. 

Certain areas of the world provide spectacular dives at depths deeper than 40m but you may not have access (or very limited access) to helium. The Extended Range Diver Course provides the training and experience necessary including proper techniques, equipment requirements, and hazards of deep air diving, to competently utilize air for dives up to 55m that require staged decompression, using nitrox mixtures or oxygen during decompression. This way you don’t have to miss those dives! 

The Helitrox course examines the theory, methods and procedures for planned stage decompression diving utilizing Helium in the breathing mixture. This program is designed combined with the TDI Decompression Procedures course. The objective of this course is to train divers how to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive not exceeding a maximum depth of 45 metres. The most common equipment requirements, gear set-up, and decompression techniques are presented. Students are permitted to utilize Enriched Air Nitrox and Helium mixes with no greater than 20% He content, and up to 100% oxygen for decompression diving provided the gas mix is within their current certification level. Breathing gas mixtures containing more than 20% Helium or less than 21% oxygen are not permitted (+/- 1%).

Are you looking to expand your depth range? Do you want to reduce narcosis during deep dives? Then this course could be your next step! One of the major limiting factors of going deeper is narcosis; this course shows how to minimize the effects of narcosis by adding helium to offset the nitrogen in your breathing gas. Your Instructor will teach you how to plan and execute dives utilizing as little as 18 percent oxygen and diving to a maximum depth of 60 m with a blend of helium appropriate for the planned depth.
