The Decompression Diver course is an advanced training program that equips you with the skills and knowledge required to safely plan and execute dives beyond recreational limits, incorporating decompression stops.
Online Learning
Start your journey with comprehensive online modules designed to build a solid theoretical foundation. These cover:
Decompression theory and gas management.
Dive planning with decompression stops.
Understanding specialised equipment like decompression cylinders.
Safety procedures for extended and deep dives.
Learn at your own pace as you explore the principles and techniques of decompression diving.
Confined Water Sessions
Once you’ve completed the theory, practice begins in a controlled environment like a swimming pool. Under the guidance of your instructor, you’ll gain hands-on experience in:
Using a dive computer or tables to plan decompression dives.
Managing multiple gas mixtures during a dive
Conducting simulated decompression stops.
Reacting to potential equipment or gas-related issues.
These sessions help you build confidence and become comfortable with advanced dive techniques.
Open Water Dives
Take your training into real-world conditions by completing open water decompression dives. During these dives, you’ll:
Plan and execute dives requiring decompression stops.
Safely handle multiple gas cylinders and switch gases underwater.
Monitor no-stop and decompression time accurately.
Apply emergency protocols specific to decompression diving.
Your instructor will closely supervise each dive, ensuring your safety and providing feedback to enhance your skills.
Certification
Upon successfully completing the Decompression Diver course, you’ll receive a certification that enables you to conduct planned decompression dives safely and efficiently.
This qualification opens doors to deeper, longer, and more advanced underwater explorations.
