Advanced Nitrox
Students enrolled in the Advanced Nitrox course will develop the fundamental knowledge, equipment familiarity, and skills needed to participate in extended range diving activities. Even for divers who do not plan to make decompression dives, this course will increase confidence and enhance diving abilities. It is for every diver who wants to dive deeper, longer, or in more challenging environments.
Prerequisites: Certification in Enriched Air Nitrox, minimum age 18 years old, minimum 24 logged dives out of which a minimum of 6 need to be Enriched Air Nitrox Dives

Technical Foundations
Technical Foundations divers will be trained to utilize singles with H-valves or twinsets, and stage cylinders or pony bottles. They will be introduced to advanced dive planning and make training dives as deep as 45m (150 ft). Students will also learn oxygen procedures and may use hyperoxic nitrox gases for limited decompression and to improve off-gas efficiency at safety stops.
Prerequisites: minimum age 18 years old, minimum 50 logged dives, certification in Deep, Stress & Rescue, Enriched Air Nitrox and Advanced Open Water Diver

Decompression Procedures
During this course you will learn to function as a member of a deep dive team and to plan and execute dives requiring more extended stage decompression. You will make training dives as deep as 55 msw/180 fsw while breathing air or optimized Nitrox and refine the proper procedures for making longer decompression stops utilizing a single hyperoxic decompression gas like EAN50 or EAN 75. The course will include hands-on experience with decompression planning software or accelerated decompression planning tables. You will gain the ability to prepare primary, contingency, and bailout plans. You will become experienced at evaluating conditions, anticipating potential problems, and applying the appropriate dive technique to achieve dive objectives.
Prerequisites: minimum age 18 years old, minimum 75 logged dives, certification in Deep, Stress & Rescue, Enriched Air Nitrox and Advanced Open Water Diver, Oxygen Provider, certification as an SSI Tech XR Technical Foundations Diver OR an SSI Tech XR Cave Diver OR an SSI Tech XR Technical Wreck Diver or equivalents
