Tech Courses

Technical diving has advanced significantly over the past decade, leading to the development of new and safer methods for exploring the depths. As a result, we have intensified our focus on this relatively new aspect of the diving industry and have built the infrastructure needed to cater to our customers.
We have formed partnerships with leading technical dive organisations, whose support and expertise enhance our capabilities and ensure your safety.

PSS
Advance Nitrox

The Advance Nitrox course is the right step to get the most out of Nitrox and the first step towards approaching technical diving courses: more useful time within NDLs, clear procedures and oxygen awareness. Theory sessions on EVO, combined with guided practice in the water.

TDI
Advance Nitrox

TDI Advanced nitrox diver course examines the use of EAN-21 through 100 percent oxygen for optimal mixes to a depth of 40 Metres/130 Feet. The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for utilizing EAN-21 through 100 percent oxygen for dives not requiring staged decompression. TDI Decompression Procedures or the Intro to Tech may be combined with this course at the discretion of the instructor.

PSS
Decompression techniques

Decompression Techniques, an exceptional opportunity to gain experience about requirements for technical diving. Gaining knowledge and techniques for dives beyond the no-decompression dive limits allows you to consistently extend the limits of your possibilities by giving you more autonomous skills for risk analysis and better techniques for dealing with emergency situations associated with technical diving.
Course features include the use of one air or nitrox breathing mix for the entire dive; maximum depth of 45 meters (147 feet).

TDI
Decompression Procedures

TDI Decompression procedures course examines the theory, methods, and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. This program is designed as a stand-alone course, or it may be taught in conjunction with TDI Advanced Nitrox, Advanced Wreck, or Full Cave 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/150 Feet. The most common equipment requirements, equipment set-up and decompression techniques are presented. Students are permitted to utilize enriched air nitrox (EAN) mixes or oxygen for decompression provided the gas mix is within their current certification level.

PSS
Accelerated Decompression

Accelerated Decompression

Having acquired all the techniques for dealing with emergencies on the Decompression Techniques course, you will now learn how to reduce the duration of decompression, while increasing safety, through the use of hyper-oxygenated mixes. You will also learn all about decompression, what changing breathing gases during the dive entails and, above all, how to optimize decompression mixes!
Course features include the use of nitrogen-oxygen binary gases, with oxygen percentage greater than 20%; maximum depth 50 meters (164 feet).

TDI
Extended Range

TDI Extended Range course provides the training and experience required to competently utilize air for dives up to 55 meters/180 feet that require step decompression, the use of nitrox mixtures, or oxygen during decompression. The objective of this course is to train divers in the proper techniques, equipment requirements, and hazards of deep air diving to a maximum of 55 meters/180 feet using nitrox mixtures or oxygen for step decompression.

Course features include the use of nitrogen-oxygen binary gases, with oxygen percentage greater than 20%; maximum depth 50 meters (164 feet).

TDI
Intro to Teck

The TDI Intro to Tech course introduces students to the world of technical diving. This course is designed as an introductory course to the TDI Advanced Nitrox course and the TDI Decompression Procedures Course. The objective of this course is to familiarize students with technical equipment configurations, to enhance open water diving skills (such as buoyancy, trim, and situational awareness), and to introduce students to advanced gas planning techniques within a no-decompression context. This course is strictly a nodecompression course; students are permitted to use enriched air nitrox (EAN) mixes, provided the gas mix is within their current level of certification. Intro to Tech may be combined with TDI Advanced Nitrox at the discretion of the instructor.

TDI
Elitrox 45

TDI Elitrox (45m) , the objective of this course is to train divers in planning and executing a standard decompression dive not exceeding a maximum depth of 45 meters/150 feet. The most common equipment requirements, equipment setups, and decompression techniques are presented. Students are permitted to use Enriched Air Nitrox and Helium mixtures with no more than 35% He content, and up to 100% Oxygen for decompression diving provided the gas mixture is within their current certification level.

PSS
Trimix 60

Trimix 60 M

In this course you will overcome the fifty-meter barrier while keeping the stability of a shallower dive. This is the great advantage of using mixtures with helium (trimix). But we must not make any mistakes because they could be very costly! A thorough understanding of the specific problems allows you to choose for yourself the best mixtures for the dive, an opportunity that very few training agencies that enforce an overall standardization offer. Do you want to let someone else decide the mix for you, or would you prefer to do it yourself?
Course features include the use of nitrogen-helium-oxygen trimixes and nitrogen-oxygen binary mixes, with a percentage of oxygen equal to or greater than 20%; maximum depth of 60 meters.

TDI
Trimix 60

TDI Trimix (60m)

The TDI Trimix course provides the training required for the competent and safe use of breathing gases containing helium for dives requiring stepwise decompression. The course also provides training in the use of nitrox during decompression to a maximum depth of 60 meters/200 feet. The objective of this course is to educate divers in the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures of using customized oxygen/helium/nitrogen mixtures as breathing gases. Gas mixtures should have no less than 18 percent oxygen (O₂) and a minimum END of 30 meters/100 feet.

PSS
