Technical diving
In recreational diving a few basic premises have significantly contributed to diving safety:
- Stay within NDL
- Use of alternate air source
- Use of buoyancy control devices
- Avoid overhead environments
- Restrict depths to the limits of 30 to 40 metres
However after many years of research, we have today information as to how safely:
- Conduct Decompression diving
- Dive in overhead environments
- Use of different gasses to extend time and depth limits
This is Technical diving. For the individuals who are ready to accept the challenge (physical, mental and financial) to gain access to more than twice as much ocean floor as if one takes the limits of recreational diving to 40 meters.
How do i get started with technical diving?
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).
Enrolment requirements:
Age(15) Dives(25), Max Participants(8), Cource Dives(4), Duration Days (3)
Price £250
Decompression Prosedures
This course examines the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. The objectives of this cource is to train divers how to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive not exceeding maximum depth of 150fsw/45msw. The most common equipment requirements, gear set-ups, decompression techniques and decompression mixtures (including oxygen and nitrox) are presented.
