Important Notice
Technical diving requires dives under conditions that are not covered by normal holiday insurance. In some cases, even normal scuba diving insurance is not adequate. In order to make use of any of our technical diving services, you must provide proof of diving accident insurance which covers technical diving activities. The standard Medical Evaluation Form and Technical Liability Waiver must also be filled in.
DSAT
DSAT TecRec courses provide the techniques and procedures necessary for diving beyond recreational dive limits. These are some of the most intensive, yet exhilarating, courses you'll find. Technical diving isn't for everyone but if this type of diving appeals to you and you're willing to accept the risks, responsibilities and obligations, you'll find it one of the most rewarding dive experiences you'll ever have.
DSAT Apprentice Tec Diver
The DSAT Apprentice Tec Diver course is the entry-level course for those who want to take up Technical Diving. It is a subcourse of the full DSAT Tec Deep Diver course. You'll learn to make gas switch, extended no-decompression dives using air and enriched air to 40 metres. You'll also prepare for and respond to foreseeable technical diving emergencies. Since it's part of the Tec Deep Diver course, your DSAT Apprentice Tec Dive course training credits toward the DSAT Tec Deep Diver course.

Prior experience required:
  • - PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or equivalent
  • - PADI Enriched Air Diver or equivalent
  • - PADI Deep Diver speciality or equivalent
  • - Minimum of 50 logged dives, of which at least 10 must be enriched air dives, 12 must be deeper than 18 metres and at least six must be deeper than 30 metres
  • - Minimum age 18 years
DSAT TecRec Deep
The DSAT Tec Deep Diver course takes you past recreational diving and immerses you in the world of technical diving. 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. 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.

Prior experience required:
  • - PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or equivalent
  • - PADI Enriched Air Diver or equivalent
  • - PADI Deep Diver speciality or equivalent
  • - Minimum of 100 logged dives, of which at least 20 must be enriched air dives, 25 must be deeper than 18 metres and at least 15 must be deeper than 30 metres
  • - Minimum age 18 years
DSAT TecRec Trimix
For the extreme diver ready to further explore the world of technical deep diving, the gas of choice is trimix. The DSAT Tec Trimix Diver course takes you to the outer edges of technical deep diving, opening the door to pristine dive sites few divers – if any – ever see.

The DSAT Tec Trimix Diver course is intended to extend the depth range available to technical divers trained and qualified to use air, enriched air and oxygen for technical decompression dives beyond 50 metres/165 feet in open water. The DSAT Tec Trimix Diver course is intended for technical divers certified as DSAT Tec Deep Divers (or qualifying certification from another training organization). The course extends their depth range capabilities by training them in the use of trimix (helium, oxygen and nitrogen).

Prior experience required:
  • - PADI Rescue Diver or equivalent
  • - Proof of CPR and first aid training within the last two years
  • - DSAT Tec Deep Diver or equivalent
DSAT Gas Blender
The DSAT Gas Blender course will train you as a qualified gas blender, allowing you to provide gas mixes to appropriately certified consumers. You'll learn the physical properties of oxygen, its associated hazards, handling requirements and what cleaning equipment is necessary. You will learn the five methods of obtaining the desired enriched air nitrox mix and the various methods used to obtain proper helium mixes.

Prior experience required:
  • - PADI Enriched Air Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organization)
  • - Minimum age: 18 years old

TDI
TDI is the largest technical certification agency in the world. As one of the first agencies to provide training in mixed gas diving and rebreathers, TDI is seen as an innovator of new diving techniques and programs which previously were not available to the general public.
Nitrox Diver
TDI Nitrox course is an entry level course for divers wishing to utilize enriched air nitrox as a breathing gas. During this course, you will learn the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for diving with EAN 22 to EAN 40.
Advanced Nitrox Diver
The TDI Advanced Nitrox Course qualifies divers to use enriched air nitrox from EAN 21 through EAN 100 to a depth of 40 metres during dives hat do not require staged decompression. Often taught in conjunction with the TDI Decompression Procedures course, this can be considered the foundation of your technical diving career. Advanced Nitrox is also a great course for those wanting to extend their bottom times in shallower depths.
Decompression Procedures Diver
As sport divers planned decompression is not something that we do or have been taught. The TDI Decompression Procedures course prepares you for planned staged decompression diving. With a maximum operating depth of 45m/150 feet, this course is your first step beyond the normal sport diving limits. The TDI Decompressions Procedures course combined with the TDI Advanced Nitrox course form the foundation of all other technical courses. After these two courses and some additional experience, the stage has been set for you to move onto additional technical levels.
Extended Range Diver
Certain areas of the world provide spectacular dives at depths deeper than 39m/130 feet but you will not have access (or very limited access) to helium. The TDI Extended Range course teaches you the proper techniques for utilizing compressed air as a breathing gas and with a maximum depth of 55m/180 feet you won’t have to miss those dives.
Trimix Diver
As your motivation to explore progresses you will find that you may want to go deeper to dive that wreck that is part of history or that cave system that you have read so much about. One of the major limiting factors of going deeper is narcosis; TDI’s Trimix Diver course shows how to minimize the effects of narcosis by adding helium to offset the nitrogen in your breathing gas. While taking the Trimix Diver course your TDI Instructor will teach you how to plan and execute dives utilizing as little as 18 percent oxygen and diving to maximum depth of 60 m/200 feet with a blend of helium appropriate for the planned depth.
Advanced Trimix Diver
The TDI Advanced Trimix Diver course is the top level of training for open circuit divers wishing to dive to depths as deep as 100m utilizing hypoxic levels of oxygen (below 17 percent). This course is perhaps one of the most informative and challenging and upon completion you are among some of the most elite divers.

  • - Closed Circuit Rebreather – Inspiration
  • - Closed Circuit Rebreather - Evolution

The TDI Inspiration and Evolution (certification depends on unit/electronics used) is your step into closed circuit rebreather diving and your first truly quiet diving experience. Using the latest in technology CCR’s maximize your gas supply and provide the optimum breathing gas for any depth by maintaining a constant partial pressure of oxygen (PPO2).
