During the Technical XR diving program, you will go beyond the no-deco. limit by increasing your dive depth and duration. 

Using either a sidemount or twinset configuration, the Technical Extended Range program provides avid explorers with the training necessary to independently plan and conduct mixed gas unlimited decompression dives to a maximum depth of up to 60 meters (depending on gases used). 

After this course is the ideal point to branch into Wreck exploration & Cave diving as you will have already built up a skill set that will help you to stay safe as you add the extra taskload of fully enclosed overhead environments.

You Will Learn to:

• Use decompression software and dive computers to independently plan and conduct 2-gas-switch, multiple-stop decompression dives, to a maximum depth of 50 metres (60 metres when using Trimix).
• Use decompression gas mixtures with up to 100% oxygen to add conservatism to the required decompression.

Prerequisites

You must be:

• Be qualified as a SSI Diver Stress & Rescue (or hold a qualifying certification from another organization)
• Have at least 1 of the following SSI certifications (or hold an equivalent certification from another organization): Extended Range, Full Cave Diving, Technical Wreck Diving.

• Have logged 10 dives requiring staged decompressions with at least 1 gas switch (not including training dives).
• Review the Medical Statement, which can be found here, and if required get a Diving Medical to ensure you are safe to dive.

With a minimum of 4 participants, this course costs: $1,499.00 per person.
