If the course you require is not shown please do not hesitate to contact us. If we cannot offer training that meets your needs then we will know somebody who can.
The content of courses listed below is centred and structured around the specific agencies requirements, although where we think extra content will be beneficial we have added it. However if you have a particular skill or area of your diving that you would like to focus, on we can arrange bespoke training sessions on request.
IANTD/TDI/PADI Nitrox Diver Course
Nitrox is now so widely used that some people don’t even use air any more! If you have no Nitrox training then this is where to start.
By increasing the Oxygen content in our breathing mixture, Nitrox reduces our exposure to Nitrogen. Therefore giving us longer “no decompression” times, it is especially useful in the 20-40m range.
With using Nitrox we have a few extra considerations in our dive planning, such as analysing our gas, equipment considerations and monitoring oxygen limits. It may sound like a lot more to do before diving, but with a little practice it take’s no time at all.
At Diving in Depth we strongly recommend that you dive with Nitrox, if you are not yet a Nitrox diver then this course can be run as entirely classroom based or added to any of our other diving programs.
Upon successful completion the diver will be qualified to use Nitrox 22-40%.
Pre-requisites – Qualified diver, over 15 years of age.
IANTD Advanced Nitrox Diver Course
The foundation program for safe self sufficient diving. The IANTD Advanced Nitrox program covers the core skills from the technical diver training programs including the use of dual outlet single cylinders or twinsets with central isolation manifolds and decompression skills and procedures using bottom mixes upto 40% nitrox and decompression mixes upto 100% oxygen to a maximum depth of 42 msw (140 fsw).
An essential component of this program is equipment configuration which is covered in a series of lectures and practical workshops. The aim being to construct a safe self sufficient equipment configuration that is streamlined, accessible and promotes familiarity. Theory covered includes the EAD concept, oxygen physiology, % CNS 02 & pulmonary toxicity tracking, the use of EANx as a decompression gas, gas switching techniques, partial pressures and best mixes.
This program qualifies divers to do dive to 42 msw (140 fsw) and perform decompression stops utilising EANx decompression mixtures with an oxygen concentration no greater than 1.5 pO2 for a maximum duration of 15 minutes.
Prerequisites - Must be qualified as an IANTD EANx Diver and IANTD Deep Diver [or equivalent] with proof of a minimum of 30 logged dives or sufficient experience to satisfy the instructor that the student has the ability and knowledge to continue into this level of training
Must be a minimum of 15 years of age with a parent or guardian authorisation, or a minimum of 18 years of age without guardian approval.
IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix Diver
The foundation program for safe self sufficient diving. The IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix program covers the core skills from the technical diver training programs including the use of dual outlet single cylinders or twinsets with central isolation manifolds and decompression skills and procedures using bottom mixes of Recreational Trimix with oxygen contents between 21% and 40% with a maximum pO2 of 1.5 bar, combined with a helium content to yeild an Equivelent Narcotic Depth (END) no greater than 24 msw (80 fsw).
An essential component of this program is equipment configuration which is covered in a series of lectures and practical workshops. The aim being to construct a safe self sufficient equipment configuration that is streamlined, accessible and promotes familiarity. Theory covered includes the END concept, oxygen physiology, oxygen tracking, the use of EANx as a decompression gas, gas switching techniques, partial pressures and best mixes.
This program qualifies divers to dive to 48 msw (160 fsw) and to perform decompression stops utilising EANx decompression mixtures with an oxygen concentration no greater than 1.5 pO2 for a maximum duration of 15 minutes.
Prerequisites - Must be qualified as an IANTD Recreational Trimix Diver or Nitrox Diver and IANTD Deep Diver with proof of a minimum of 30 logged dives or sufficient experience/alternative agency qualifications to satisfy the instructor that the student has the ability and knowledge to continue into this level of training.
Must be a minimum of 15 years of age with a parent or guardian authorisation, or a minimum of 18 years of age without guardian approval.
 IANTD Normoxic Trimix Diver Course
The IANTD Normoxic Trimix Diver program is designed to train divers who wish to dive to depths between 39 and 60 msw (130 and 200 fsw), but do not wish to breathe air below 39 msw (130 fsw). Trimix affords a means of managing nitrogen narcosis by reducing the Equivelent Narcotic Depth (END) to a maximum of 36 msw (120 fsw).
The IANTD Normoxic Trimix Diver program includes academic lectures, confined water skills development and open water dives using air, EANx or Trimix using one gas switch. Gas switching computers can be used (and are recommended) but IANTD tables must be used as a backup.
This program qualifies divers to perform Trimix dives to a maximum depth of 60 msw (200 fsw) using custom bottom mixes with a minimum oxygen content of 19% and a maximum of two decompression cylinders.
Prerequisites - Must be qualified as an IANTD Advanced EANx Diver, IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix Diver or equivalent.
Must provide proof of a minimum of 100 logged dives, of which at least 30 were deeper than 27 msw (90 fsw) or sufficient experience doing technical dives to satisfy the instructor that the student has the ability and knowledge to continue into this level of training.
Must be a minimum of 18 years of age
Equipment Requirements
Please contact us for the exact equipment requirements for each course.
Diving in Depth has most equipment required for the above courses available to hire, though divers should consider the benefits of owning their own.
Please contact us with any equipment queries you have, the best “Teck Kit Package” is rarely the best in the water! |
