TECHNICALPASSPORTPROGRAM
build the foundation for becoming a
technical diver
This 4 in 1 cornerstone
program will put you on the path to go where few have gone before,
and help build the foundation you'll need before taking your diving
to its limits.
Although
not for everyone, these courses through discipline and self sufficiency
development offer safe diving opportunities to those who choose to
pursue this path. Students dive various
decompression Nitrox mixes to meet the course standards.
NITROX
This is the entry level certification
course for recreational divers wishing to utilize enriched air Nitrox (EAN)
as a breathing gas. The objective of this course is to train divers in
the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for using Nitrox mixes from
22% to 40% oxygen content.
ADVANCED NITROX
This course examines the use of EAN
21 through 100% (oxygen) for optimal mixes to a depth of 130fsw/40msw.
The object of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards
and proper procedures for utilizing EAN 21 through 100% (oxygen) for
dives not requiring staged decompression. (Decompression techniques may
be combined with this course at the discretion of the instructor).
DECOMPRESSION PROCEDURES
This course examines the theory,
methods, and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. 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
150fsw/45msw unless taught in conjunction with advanced Nitrox, Extended
Range, or Advanced Wreck Courses. The most common equipment
requirements, gear set-ups, decompression techniques and decompression
mixtures (including oxygen and Nitrox) are presented.
SERVICE TECHNICIAN
This course enables the successful
candidate to engage in the preparation of scuba equipment for technical
diving gasses.
