Prices are not listed as each program is scheduled differently with regards to location, logistical requirements, etc.
As the equipment requirements for each program are quite different, we ask that you contact us with questions regarding required gear.
EANx Blender
EANx Blender is a one day program to introduce the physics, practical application, as well as concerns, of producing Enriched Air Nitrox.
An individual interested in this course must possess a need to take part in blender training (i.e. staff a dive shop, etc.)
Trimix Blender
Trimix Blender is a one day program to introduce the physics, practical application, as well as concerns, of producing helium-based trimixtures.
Introduced are both a review of EANx blending and all common recreational types of trimix - “stacked”, heliair, helitrox, and heliox.
An individual interested in this course must possess a need to take part in blender training (i.e. staff a dive shop, etc.)
Enriched Air Nitrox Diver
This course is an introduction to utilizing enriched oxygen mixtures, with a maximum O2 content of 40%. Theoretical and practical use of EANx, incorporation into dive plans, advantanges and disadvantages are a few of the topics discussed.
Easily corporated into many recreational SCUBA classes, this program takes one day to complete.
Advanced EANx Diver
The Advanced EANx program introduces the theoretical and practical use of EANx beyond the 40% Oxygen limit. Topics include equipment configuration alterations to benefit the Advanced EANx diver, dive planning, as well as an introduction to different types of decompression software.
When taught as a standalone class, Advanced EANx is typically two days in length; when incorporated with the Decompression Procedures class, the course normally takes three days. Prerequisites for this course include EANx, and a minimum of 25 dives. Maximum depth 130'.
Decompression Procedures
The Decompression Procedures program introduces the theoretical and practical application of dive planning to introduce the candidate to the basics of step decompression diving. Use of EANx beyond the 40% Oxygen limit to facilitate more beneficial decompression is emphasisized.
When taught as a standalone class, Decompression Procedures is typically two days in length; when incorporated with the Advanced EANx class, the course normally takes three days. Maximum depth 150'.
Recreational Trimix
Essentiallty this course is similiar to the Decompression Procedures course, with the addition of the planning and use of 'helitrox' mixtures, opposed to compressed air or EANx. Advantages and disadvantages to helium use, and precise dive planning are the foundation of this course. Maximum depth 130'.
Extended Range (aka Technical Diver)
This four day program focuses on planning and executing dives to a maximum depth of 180 ft. Emphasis is on expanding the student’s knowledge in terms of equipment management, use of decompression software, as well as other more detailed aspects of extended range diving since becoming certified at the Advanced EANx and Decompression Procedures levels.
Certification at the Advanced EANx and Decompression Procedures levels is required to participate at this level of training. Maximum depth 180'
Trimix Diver
Trimix diver is an entry-level program designed to introduce the student to the practical use of helium-based trimixtures to a maximum depth of 200ft.
This course normally takes a minimum of four days to complete. Emphasis is on expanding the student’s knowledge in terms of equipment management, use of decompression software, as well as other more detailed aspects of extended range diving.
The prerequisites for trimix diver include certification at the Advanced EANx and Decompression Procedures levels (or equivalent). One may participate in the course having already completed Extended Range, or it may be taken instead of the ER diver course. Maximum depth 220'.
Advanced Trimix Diver
Advanced Trimix Diver is a continuation of the Extended Range and/or Trimix Diver courses. The program is designed to provide instruction in the use of helium based mix gas diving to a maximum depth of 330 ft.
Like ER, and Trimix, this course requires a minimum of four days to complete. Maximum depth 330'.
