TECHNICAL DIVING COURSES
Nitrox Diver is the entry level course for divers who want to expand their theoretical and practical skills, and whishes to lean about the benefits of diving with oxygen enriched air. The course contains theory and practical diving, focusing on safe use of nitrox with a maximum of 40 % oxygen, and a max depth of 39 meters. (Course outline as .doc or .pdf)

Deep Diving Courses
Decompression Nitrox Diver this course builds on the basic theory from the nitrox diver course, but includes more training and theory on the benefits of nitrox for use as a decompression gas. On this course you will learn to safely use nitrox mixes with up to 60% oxygen for carrying out accelerated decompression on dives to a maximum depth of 40 meters. (Course outline as .doc or .pdf)

Technical Nitrox Diver is an advanced course for divers who want to learn how to safely conduct air dives to a maximum depth of 50 meters. The course will also involve theory and techniques for carrying out accelerated staged decompression utilising nitrox and pure oxygen. (Course outline as .doc or .pdf)

Trimix Diver Module 1 is the first course involving mixed gas diving in the ITDA programme. The course will train the diver en safe diving with trimix breathing gas to a depth of 40-65 meters. As this course is entry level, the gas mixtures will contain no less than 18 % oxygen and a maximum of 45 % helium. The decompression will be carried out using nitrox and pure oxygen. (Course outline as .doc or .pdf)		  
 

 

 


Trimix Diver Module 2 is the final and most advanced stage of open circuit technical diving. On this course you will learn to utilise hypoxic (less than 21% oxygen) breathing gas mixes and to dive to a depth of up to 100 meters. Decompression is carried out using one or more nitrox gasses or pure oxygen. The course includes both theoretical lessons, practical exercises and gear configuration.

Overhead Environment Diving Courses

Overhead Environment Diver is the foundation course for overhead environment
diving. Training includes one day of knowledge development, equipment workshop and line drills on land. The courses include practicing the drill in wrecks or caverns depending on location.

Advanced Overhead Environment Diver teaches the procedures to penetrate considerably beyond the “3” light zone, using fully redundant scuba equipment, gas management, team dynamics and operations.


Gas Technician Courses

Nitrox Gas Blender is designed for divers and technicians alike, who wishes to learn how to mix nitrox gasses, and how to, safely, handle filling systems and materials for use with pure oxygen. (Course outline as .doc or .pdf)

Trimix Gas Blender is designed for divers and technicians who want to expand their knowledge on gas mixing. Building on the Nitrox Gas Blender Course this course includes theory and practical training for mixing of both nitrox and trimix gasses for diving purposes. (Course outline as .doc or .pdf)


Rebreather Diving Courses

Semi-closed Circuit Rebreather Course
Enter the world of rebreathers. A course for those wishing to use fixed content nitrox rebreathers in a no decompression environment. The course teaches divers to appreciate the differences between open circuit diving and rebreather diving as well as the benefits. Minimum age 18 years. Course duration 5 days. ITDA Nitrox Diver or equivalent required prior to enrolment. (Course outline as .doc or .pdf)

Closed Circuit Rebreather Module 1, Buddy Inspiration Unit Specific
The future of both recreational and technical diving. An introduction to closed circuit rebreather technology allowing divers to dive to a maximum depth of 40 metres using air as a dilutent. Course duration 5 days. Minimum age 15. ITDA Nitrox Diver or equivalent required prior to enrolling on course. (Course outline as .doc or .pdf)

BASIC CLOSED CIRCUIT REBREATHER DIVER COURSE UNIT SPECIFIC – APD EVOLUTION/ INSPIRATION WITH VISION ELECTRONICS
This is the entry-level certification course for recreational divers wishing to utilize the APD Evolution/ Inspiration Closed Circuit Rebreather fitted with vision electronics. (Course outline as .doc or .pdf)

Closed Circuit Rebreather Module 2. Buddy Inspiration Unit Specific
The best way to optimise gas consumption on those deep diving projects. Utilising closed circuit rebreather technology allowing divers to dive to a maximum depth of 100 metres using trimix and heliox or diluent. Course duration 6 days (8 days if trimix qualification is to be included) ITDA Closed Circuit Rebreather module 1 with a minimum of 1 years experience 100 hours and 100 hours on the Buddy Inspiration prior to enrolment.
