DECOMPRESSION

WELCOME TO YOUR TECH DIVING ADVENTURE

It is part of our redesigned Open Circuit courses that take divers beyond recreational scuba diving’s traditional NDL time limits, giving access to more bottom time and the beginning steps into staged decompression diving.

REASONS TO TAKE THIS COURSE

While there are many definitions of what technical diving is, the consensus is that it begins when one plans staged decompression dives, and accepts the added risks, responsibilities, and vagaries of decompression stress. This RAID program is a three-cylinder course in which sidemount or twinset divers learn how to carry one cylinder of decompression gas (up to and including 100 percent oxygen). Available to 40 metres max depth using air and nitrox, 45 metres air and nitrox, or 45 metres air, nitrox, trimix.40 metres air and nitrox | 45 metres air, nitrox | 45 metres air, nitrox, trimix,
