After successful completion of the DSAT Tec Deep Diver course you’ll be able to conduct gas-switch extended no-decompression dives, decompression dives and accelerated decompression dives using air and enriched air to a depth of 50 metres/165 feet. You’ll also understand the hazards and risks involved in technical diving, as well as how to prepare for and handle reasonable foreseeable technical diving emergencies.

• Double cylinders (minimum 80 cf each, with larger preferred) with isolator manifold
• Primary and secondary regulators, one with two metre/seven foot hose (approx.) for gas sharing, and one with SPG
• Stage/decompression cylinders with regulator, SPG, mounting hardware and proper labeling/markings. Two per diver will be required
• Backup decompression cylinders as appropriate and required for the environment
• BCD and harness – redundant buoyancy control is required (double bladder BCD or dry suit if suitable for weight of equipment worn)
• Depth gauge/computer and backup depth gauge/computer
• Timing device and backup timing device
• Trimix decompression information (tables/trimix computer) and backup decompression information
• Exposure suit appropriate for environment and dive duration. (If students will use dry suits, they should be trained/experienced with their use in recreational and technical diving prior to using them for trimix training or diving.)
• Weight system (if needed)
• Jon line (if needed for current diving environ-ments)
• Reel
• Lift bag 100 lbs
• Knife/cutting device and backup
• Slate wrist
• Backup mask (optional)
• Compass
• Lights (optional)
• Wrist slates

A deposit of $200 per diver is required to reserve a space in this program.

All dives must be completed to the Instructor’s satisfaction. The Instructor reserves the right to require further training and can refuse to issue a certification card if the students performance does not meet the course standards.
