RECREATIONAL TRIMIX IANTD
Description: This course allows recreational divers to dive at greater depths without feeling the effects of nitrogen narcosis. By adding Helium to the gas the diver is breathing, the effects of nitrogen narcosis can be reduced to that felt at 80 feet in dept. The diver no longer senses the negative effects of nitrogen narcosis, even at the maximum recreational depth limit of 130 feet. All dives are made within the limits of no decompression.
Pre-requisite: Deep and Enriched Air (Nitrox)
|
|
ADVANCED NITROX
Description: During this course, the diver increases his knowledge on diving with enriched air and is trained to dive with a decompression stage cylinder containing a mix with a PPO2 no greater than 1,5. Maximum dive depth of 140 feet with maximum decompression time of 15 minutes.
Pre-requisite: Advanced Open Water* and Enriched Air (Nitrox), O2 analyser
*Depending on level (check-out dive required)
|
|
DECOMPRESSION SPECIALIST IANTD
Description: Learn how to plan decompression dives with the use of 100% Oxygen which greatly reduces required decompression time. Maximum dive depth of 130 feet with maximum decompression time of 15 minutes at 20 feet with maximum PPO2 of 1,6.
Pre-requisite: Advanced Nitrox
|
|
ADVANCED RECREATIONAL TRIMIX IANTD
Description: The next level after the Advanced Nitrox course. You will dive with mixes containing no more that 1.5 PPO2 and with an equivalent narcotic depth of 80 feet. You will train with Helium containing mixes allowing you to dive to 165 feet with maximum decompression times of 15 minutes.
Pre-requisite: Advanced Nitrox
|
|
TECHNICAL DIVER IANTD
Description: A good option for divers who dive in areas where Helium is not available. During this course you will train to dive on air up to a maximum depth of 170 feet. To do so, divers are rigorously trained to manage the effects of important nitrogen narcosis. You will learn to better understand the risks of deep diving on air.
Pre-requisite: Advanced Nitrox or Advanced Recreational Trimix
|
|
NORMOXIC TRIMIX DIVER IANTD
Description: This course is for divers who wish to dive at important depths without the risks related to nitrogen narcosis. Divers are trained to better their skills and planning of dives with normoxic mixes (more than 18% O2), as well as with the use of Nitrox and high concentration Oxygen content mixes for decompression. This program enables you to dive to a maximum depth of 200 feet.
Pre-requisite: Technical Diver, Technical Wreck, Cavern or Advanced Recreational Trimix
|
|
HYPOXIC TRIMIX DIVER IANTD
Description : A course for divers already involved in deep diving. This course will provide you with knowledge and skills to dive with hypoxic mixes (less than 18% O2) as well as with the use of Nitrox and high concentration Oxygen content mixes for decompression. This program enables you to dive to a maximum depth of 333 feet.
Pre-requisite: Technical Diver, Technical Wreck, Cave or Normoxic Trimix
|
|
INTRO. CAVE DIVER IANTD
Description: During this course, you will complete a minimum of 6 penetration dives in a 4 to 6 day period. You will learn navigation as well as line identification techniques. All your dives will be past the daylight zone, to a maximum penetration distance of 1300 linear feet but without complex navigation. Depth of dives is limited to 130 feet.
Pre-requisite: Cavern or Wreck and Advanced Nitrox
|
|
CAVE DIVER & TECHNICAL CAVE DIVER IANTD
Description: A minimum of 12 penetration dives will be made during this course. You will learn all the necessary techniques to maintain control in a variety of situations such as environments with silt, haloclines and reduced visibility. You will dive with Nitrox and 50% to 100% Oxygen content during decompression for the technical cave course. You will also learn complex navigation skills (gaps, jumps, T et Y), acquire mapping analysis skills and study decompression theories.
Pre-requisite: Intro. Cave
|
|
ADVANCED CAVE DPV DIVER (IANTD)
Description: Another speciality course for experienced cave divers. In this courses you will learn how to manage a DPV in a cave environment, gas sharing with a DPV, equipment configuration and towing techniques.
Pre-requisite: Cave or Technical Cave
|
|
ADVANCED WRECK DIVER IANTD
Description: This course is for divers who wish to acquire the knowledge and skills to safely penetrate wrecks. Depth is limited to 130 feet without any limits regarding lateral penetration distances. Divers will use mixes that will not exceed 50% Oxygen content for decompression. This advanced wreck penetration course includes a minimum of 6 penetration dives. All penetration dives are done past the daylight zone.
Pre-requisite: Cavern or Wreck and Advanced Nitrox
|
|
TECHNICAL WRECK DIVER IANTD
Description: This course allows you to gain skills and knowledge to penetrate wrecks to a maximum depth of 170 feet, without any limits as to lateral penetration distances. Divers will breathe Trimix gases and use stage cylinders containing Nitrox as well as pure Oxygen. Divers will complete a minimum of 4 penetration dives with 2 open water dives. All penetration dives are done past the daylight zone.
Pre-requisite: Cavern or Advanced Wreck and Technical Diver or Normoxic Trimix
|
|
CAVERN DIVER IANTD
Description: Your first steps into the fascinating universe of caverns. You will learn the basic techniques required to safely dive in caverns within the ambient light zone. You will learn how to execute tie-offs, share air and loss of visibility protocols. You will be entitled to dive at a maximum depth of 130 feet without penetrating beyond 200 linear feet within a cavern. No complex navigation skills are taught within this course.
Pre-requisite: Advanced Nitrox
|
|
INTRO. TECH (DEEP DIVER IANTD)
Description: Learn how to dive and manage your buoyancy with twin cylinders, safety protocols associated to technical diving as well as various fining techniques. All dives are made within the limits of no decompression and shallower that 130 feet.
Pre-requisite: Advanced Open Water and Enriched Air (Nitrox), O2 analyser
|
|
ADVANCED CAVE STAGE / MULTI STAGE DIVER (IANTD)
Description: A speciality course that combines advanced cave diving protocols with the use of multiple cylinders (stages). This is a course for experienced cave divers who wish to explore new cave systems with increased breathing gas autonomy.
Pre-requisite: Cave or Technical Cave
|
|
SIDEMOUNT (TDI)
Description: During this course you will learn the basic techniques of sidemount diving. Sidemount offers various advantages: redundancy, larger gas supply, more profiled equipment and greater ease for gear transportation to and from the dive site.
Pre-requisite: 25 logged dives, min. age of 18, Advanced
