Over five days and a minimum of seven dives with 420 minute of bottom time you will learn about the theory, skills and practical methods of carrying out safe staged decompression dives, using up to 20% Helium and no less than 21% Oxygen in your diluent gas in dives up to 45m deep.

What’s Involved

There will be at least 7 dives and you will build on diving skills and knowledge to date. You will learn about dive planning, equipment considerations and develop buoyancy, trim and teamwork skills to safely carry out planned decompression diving using helium to reduce narcosis and enhance dive pleasure and safety.

Why Do the Course?

This course will suit CCR divers who want the benefits of a clear head and recued gas density on deeper and longer dives. It opens up longer and safer deep dives whilst adding additional knowledge and skills to your CCR diving. It prepares you to take further technical training such as trimix diving or overhead courses such as cave or advanced wreck.

What’s Included

The course fee covers instructional time, manual, use of facilities including pool. Students are expected to pay any gas, boat costs and accomodation costs required to complete the course but we do have packages available. Only after the successful completion of the course do you pay your certification fee – “you pay for training – you earn the certification”
