Extended Range DiverThe Extended Range Diver Course provides the training and experience necessary including proper techniques, equipment requirements, and hazards of deep air diving, to competently utilize air for dives up to 50 metres/165 feet that require staged decompression, using Nitrox and or mixtures or oxygen during decompression. Two cylinders for decompression will be used during the course.
A large focus will be on in-water timed (equipment failures) and problem solving. Divers will be exposed to a number of different gas mixtures, both as bottom gas and in Deco cylinders during decompression. Divers will learn to complete a range of skills, and will have to demonstrate competence and comfort in water. |
