Services
Rebreather Training
Specialist rebreather instruction for APD Inspiration, JJ-CCR, and XCCR systems. Our courses develop proficiency in closed-circuit diving techniques, gas management, and emergency procedures. Ideal for divers transitioning from open-circuit to rebreather technology, this training enhances dive duration and environmental awareness while maintaining strict safety protocols.
Trimix Courses
Comprehensive trimix certification programmes for deep technical diving. Training covers helium blending, decompression strategies, and equipment configuration for depths exceeding recreational limits. Designed for experienced divers seeking to extend their underwater exploration capabilities through advanced gas management and physiological considerations.
Decompression Theory
In-depth decompression theory education explaining tissue compartments, gradient factors, and bubble models. This non-diving theory course provides scientific context for decompression sickness prevention, helping divers make informed decisions about ascent profiles and safety stops through evidence-based principles.
Advanced Buoyancy
One-day buoyancy mastery programme improving diver trim, propulsion efficiency, and equipment positioning. Participants develop precise control over vertical and horizontal movement, reducing air consumption and environmental impact. Beneficial as standalone skill development or preparation for technical diving specialisations.
Instructor Development
SDI/TDI instructor and instructor trainer certification pathways. This professional development track builds teaching methodologies, assessment techniques, and curriculum delivery skills. Designed for experienced divers aiming to establish careers in technical diving education with internationally recognised qualifications.
