Course Outline

Helium has lots of advantages as a breathing gas, it’s lighter with less molecules therefore we absorb less inert gas extending our bottom time & offsetting narcosis. We calculate equivalent air/narcotic depths & maximum operating depths giving us our required mixes, towards the end of the course you'll be in the water with three different gas mixes. 

​

You'll learn the following:

• Equipment selection & preparation

• Advanced dive planning

• END/EADs

• CNS & OTUs

• ICD

• Deco gas choices

• Emergency and contingency planning

• Decompression diving procedures

  • Drills & skills including shutdowns 

  • Following a decompression schedule

  • Multiple gas switching & accelerated deco procedures with 2-3 stage cylinders

  • Team awareness and communication

What is not included?

What’s next?

No doubt you’ll be thinking about progressing from this level for a specific reason, perhaps to explore rarely ever dived shipwrecks and divesites or to get involved in an exploration project – Exciting stuff, we talk from experience! You’ll be eligible once you’ve acquired the necessary pre-requisites in dives & time in the water. Might be time to invest in a rebreather, repeated OC helium dives will pay for one in the long run!
