This Course may be combined with the Deep diver Course

This course incorporates two nights of theory and four dives. It further develops diving skills through the teaching of Limited Accelerated Decompression. During training divers are taught in the use of EANx mixes from 21-40% for bottom gas and EAN 50 for decompression. Diver certification depth is 42m
Some of the skills required are:

buoyancy techniques
