SSI XR Programs
The perfect program for people wanting the academic knowledge of a full decompression diver with just a little taste of the complex dives involved. Learn what gas mixtures can double your bottom time, how to plan gas consumption, and how to do short duration limited decompression diving all on a single tank with a pony bottle. Whether you plan to do limited decompression dives or just want the knowledge to respond if you overstay your limit this course has information you can really use to improve your diving knowledge and skill.
Statistics show that a significant percentage of diving accidents occur every year as a result of divers venturing just a little way into overhead environments. Learn the hazards and how to manage them in this limited penetration wreck diving course which can be completed in your recreational gear with just a few modifications and additions. Advanced wreck dives are completed in the natural light zone, usually in the super structure or open hold areas of the wrecks and in relatively shallow water. This course is a prerequisite to the Technical Wreck Diving program
Statistics show that a significant percentage of diving accidents occur every year as a result of divers venturing just a little way into overhead environments. Learn the hazards and how to manage them in this limited penetration cavern diving course which can be completed in your recreational gear with just a few modifications and additions. Cavern dives are completed in the natural light zone within the entry zone of the cave. This course is a prerequisite to the Basic Cave course.
So you have been far enough into the cavern to recognize that it is not just a deep, dark hole in the ground and you definitely want to see more, but without twinsets and extreme dive plans . The Intro to Cave course is a transition program taught with a high capacity cylinder utilizing H or Y valves to allow divers to penetrate beyond the light zone. The penetrations are limited to one third of a gas supply and the non-restricted areas of an underwater cave but they are beyond the natural light zone. Tech harnesses, twin regulator setups, and a technical style light sources are required for this program.
The Extended Range course is the gateway to full on technical diving. This course will take divers beyond 40 meters, allow staged decompression, and introduce you to diving in a full technical diving system. The Extended Range divers course can be completed as a stand alone program encompassing advanced nitrox or as a shorter, add on program for divers who have completed the Advanced Nitrox certification course. Extended Range is a prerequisite for any technical diving program in the SSI TXR Range. © 2013, All Rights Reserved | SSI International | Contact | Legal Info | Diver Verification | Dive Professional Verification | Replacement Card | Sitemap |
