Nitrox Diver & Deep Diver Bundle

Description

Nitrox Diver & Deep Diver: learn to dive safely to depths up to 130 feet while increasing your bottom time and reducing your risk of nitrogen narcosis with EAN, or Nitrox to 40%. This bundle includes two of our most popular courses of SDI Deep Diver and TDI Nitrox and serves as the entry level coursework for continuing on to Advanced Nitrox and Decompression Procedures.

TDI Nitrox

This TDI course is an entry-level course for divers wishing to continue their diver education and utilize EAN as a breathing gas to extend no-decompression limits at depth. The SDI Computer Nitrox Diver Course may be substituted for divers aged 10 through 14.

SDI Deep

This SDI ourse is a must for any diver wishing to explore a little more, go a little deeper, and learn the risks and benefits associated with deep diving. Many interesting sights lay just beyond open water diver training limits such as: beautiful wall dives, shipwrecks, and critters that don’t come into the shallows. The purpose of this course is to provide the necessary training to plan and execute dives that are beyond the depth range experienced during an Open Water Diver course, specifically beyond 18 metres/60 feet and to a maximum depth of not greater than 40 metres/130 feet. By the end of the course your knowledge, awareness, and comfort level with deep diving activities will have increased.

Course prerequisites:

• SDI Open Water Scuba Diver, SDI Junior Open Water Scuba Diver, or equivalent
• Minimum age 18, 15 with parental consent
• Divers aged 10-14 may substitute SDI Computer Nitrox Course with parental consent

What you can expect to learn:

How to plan and execute dives that are outside the range of depths that are experienced during an Open Water course, and more!

Topics from the courses include:

• History of dive tables and computers
• Equipment needed for deep diving
• Physics and physiology of deep diving
• Emergency procedures for deep diving and first aid
• The benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for using gas mixes from 22 through 40 percent oxygen content
• Equipment considerations, cylinder labeling, analyzing gas mixtures, and gas blending procedures

Some of the in-water skills you will complete include:

• Open Water Dive 1
  • Test and check all equipment, i.e. depth gauges, bottom timers/watches and computers
  • Familiarization with area
  • Descend to planned depth and do not exceed any pre-planned limits
  • Dive according to plan at a depth limited to 30 metres/100 feet for first dive
  • Ascend to safety stop
• Open Water Dive 2
  • Monitor depth/time/air consumption, figure all times on slate
  • Descend to planned depth and do not exceed any pre-planned limits
  • Execute a simulated emergency that is to be assigned underwater by the instructor
  • Dive according to plan at a depth limited to 40 metres/130 feet
  • Ascend to safety stop

TDI Nitrox minimum requirements:

• Demonstrate understanding of EAD calculations
• Perform oxygen analysis for nitrox mixtures
• Satisfactorily complete the course and written examination
