Are you interested in learning how to extend your dive beyond traditional no-decompression limits? The SSI Decompression Diving course will give you a first introduction to the world of technical diving. We will introduce you to the use of a wing, and you will learn how to carry and manage a side (stage) cylinder with an enriched Nitrox mix for accelerated decompression. You will also learn more about decompression theory, as well as how to make the most of your dive computer and manage your dives!
We often see photos of technical divers in amazing locations, but we rarely see a cloud of stirred-up sand and sediment behind them; instead, we always see them in perfect position and control. During your SSI Decompression Diving course, you will learn the techniques needed to achieve this: trim, finning techniques such as the frog kick or backward kick, etc., and you will be introduced to technical setups with wings, backplates, and harnesses, as well as the use of long hoses.
