Transition from standard recreational limits into entry-level technical diving with specialized training focused on decompression procedures. This initial technical course teaches you to plan and execute deeper dives down to a maximum of 130 feet while managing controlled decompression stops safely. You will learn to utilize up to two distinct gas mixtures containing as much as 50 percent oxygen to accelerate your decompression time. While student divers can complete training using a single cylinder configuration, double tanks are highly encouraged to build proper stability and gas redundancy habits. It serves as the ideal foundation for certified divers looking to master technical gear setups and safely extend their bottom time on deep wrecks and offshore walls.

Build directly upon your technical foundation to reach greater depths and master advanced decompression strategies. Expanding on the core skills established in earlier technical training, this course prepares you to dive to a maximum depth of 145 feet while managing multiple breathing gases. You will learn to utilize two gas mixtures up to 100 percent pure oxygen for efficient decompression off-gassing. Using double tanks is required for all training sessions to ensure proper gas volume, balance, and emergency redundancy. By mastering precise buoyancy, stream-lined hose routing, and multi-gas switching, you develop the technical proficiency and composure necessary for executing extended deep dives with complete confidence.

Reach the pinnacle of entry-level technical diving by mastering complex deep-water protocols and extended decompression profiles. Designed for experienced technical divers, this program pushes depth capabilities to 165 feet while emphasizing strict situational awareness, narcosis management, and refined muscle memory. Over a four-day curriculum, you will complete rigorous classroom planning, exam evaluations, confined water drills, and five open-water training dives. Utilizing double tanks and two stage cylinders loaded with up to 100 percent oxygen, you will calculate gas consumption and manage complex deco obligations. It provides the elite skill set, disciplined mindset, and gear mastery required to explore demanding deep wrecks and reefs at maximum technical depths.
