We can cater for the needs and wants of the more experienced diver, with our program of Technical Dive courses.

We offer the following IANTD courses, taught by our resident technical dive instructor Tony Dobinson.

DEEP AIR (EXTENDED RANGE)

Pre requisites:
1. Must be qualified as an IANTD Advanced Open Water Diver or equivalent.
2. Must provide proof of a minimum of 10 logged dives.
3. Must be a minimum of 15 years of age with a parent or guardian authorization, or a minimum of 12 years of age for Junior Diver qualification, or a minimum of 18 years of age without guardian approval..

This Program is designed to provide responsible training to divers who plan to dive to a maximum of 39 msw (130 fsw) on air. The IANTD Deep Diver Program trains divers in skills, performance, theory and planning of deep dives. This Program remains within the commonly practiced depth of 130 fsw (39 msw), and is the first sanctioned international Program to provide proper training in safe deep diving skills and performance.
It is recommended that this Program be taught in conjunction with the IANTD EANx Diver Program or the Recreational Trimix Diver Program or the IANTD Advanced EANx Diver Program.
This program qualifies divers to dive to 30 msw(130 fsw).

BASIC NITROX

Pre requisites:
1. Must be a qualified Open Water Diver.
2. Must be a minimum of 15 years of age with a parent or guardian authorization, or a minimum of 12 years of age for Junior Diver qualification, or a minimum of 18 years of age without guardian approval..

This program provides recreational divers a safer breathing medium for enjoying dives in 40 fsw (12 msw) to 130 fsw (39 msw) depth range. The diver may elect to dive the mix on EANx tables or conservatively using their dive computers or air tables with an added diver safety margin. The IANTD Nitrox Diver certification is adaptable to being taught as a single program or by combining it with a variety of advanced or specialty diver courses.

ADVANCED NITROX

Pre requisites:
1. Must be qualified as an IANTD EANx Diver and IANTD Deep Diver with proof of a minimum of 25 logged dives or sufficient experience to satisfy the instructor that the student has the ability and knowledge to continue into this level of training.
2. Must be a minimum of 15 years of age with a parent or guardian authorization, or a minimum of 18 years of age without guardian approval.

This program is designed to extend the divers knowledge with O2 mixes of 22 to 40% and up to 50% for decompression. It further develops diving skills and provides a greater understanding of the Nitrox diving concept. This program qualifies divers to do dive to 42 msw (140 fsw) and do decompression stops required dives for up to 15 minutes using EAN 50 as a decompression gas.

RECREATIONAL TRIMIX

Pre requisites:
1. Must be a qualified Advanced Open Water diver or equivalent and EANx Diver
or take the EANx Diver course in conjunction with the Recreational Trimix Diver course.

This Program is designed to provide Sport Divers with a breathing medium for extending their dives to Sport Diving Depths by using ENDs in the 12 to 24 msw(40 to 80 fsw) depth ranges. The diver may elect to dive the "mix" on tables or computers. The program covers the use of recreational diving mixes in the range of 28 to 40% oxygen with Helium content to provide an END no greater than 24 msw (80 fsw). The program qualifies divers to do no stop required dives using Recreational Trimix Gas mixtures to a depth of 30 msw (100 fsw) or deeper up to students previous qualification level.
