The primary objective of this course is to provide divers with comprehensive training and development of their CCR diving skills up to a maximum depth of 45 meters/150 feet, utilizing an air/nitrox/helium diluent for formal decompression diving. During the course, students will learn advanced CCR diving skills, including the use of a diluent and bailout mix with no greater than a 35% helium content and no less than a 21% oxygen content. Additionally, students are permitted to use up to 100% oxygen for decompression.

This course covers essential topics such as dive planning, emergency procedures, buoyancy control, and decompression procedures with a focus on the use of Helitrox Diluent.

Testimonial for Toby van Pooss | Advanced Diver Training

Before working with Toby, I'd never dived. Now I confidently dive 40m wreck on nitrox. I owe that entirely to his teaching, encouragement and (in no small measure) his patience. Both in and out of the water, his instruction and professionalism dispelled any anxieties I had and ensured I felt safe throughout.
