You will earn the SSI Extended Range Nitrox Diving certification after completing this program.
This program teaches the skills and concepts required to safely blend nitrox and helium-based trimix blends for mixed-gas diving. This is a non-diving program that is open to certified and uncertified divers, and teaches the mathematics, physics and techniques required to safely blend breathing gases. You will earn the SSI XR Gas Blender certification.
This course/method of diving is very beneficial for you :
– Technical gear setup
– No weight on your Back
– More gas for extended dives
– Easy to travel with
– Perfect Trim
We offer TDI/SDI Sidemount diver course. Which gives you the opportunity to dive with 2+ cylinders for extended dive times.
The Tec Sidemount diver course is a good first step if you are interested in technical diving, because the skills you learn in this course will train you to handle multiple cylinders on a single dive.
You can combine what you learned in the Tec Sidemount diver course with other open-circuit tech and recreational courses that you take. Or certifications you’ve already earned. To take advantage of sidemount’s cylinder configuration and handling advantages.
This course is not only recommended for Technical Divers. Its always a good way if you would like to become cave divers or Advanced Nitrox Divers. Or if you would like to extended range or Trimix 60 course on Sidemount. No, it is a great way to explore new limits also in Recreational Diving.
At one point or another, many divers have found themselves alone during a dive, whether it was intentional or not. SDI’s Solo Diving is the practice of self reliant scuba diving without a “dive buddy.”Solo diving, once considered technical diving and discouraged by most certification agencies, is now seen by many experienced divers and some certification agencies as an acceptable practice for those divers suitably trained and experienced. Rather than relying on the traditional buddy diving safety system, solo divers should be skilled in self-sufficiency and willing to take responsibility for their own safety while diving.
Being one of SDI’s most popular courses, the Solo Diver course stresses proper dive planning, personal limitations, and accident prevention, as well as the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for diving solo. You will also learn the additional equipment that is required for solo diving including its proper usage and assembly. This is the perfect course for underwater photography and underwater video divers as well as those diving with their children or buddies that may not be very experienced in scuba diving.
Who this course is for :
The certified SDI Advanced Diver (or equivalent) who is interested in learning how to dive independent of a dive buddy, or looking to strengthen your buddy team diving skills.
Course prerequisites :
What you can expect to learn :
The SDI Solo Diver course takes an in-depth look at all of the following and more:
Purpose:
This course is intended to help prepare divers for further technical trining by introducing equipment configurations and spending time on basic skills such as buoyancy, trim, situational awareness and team skills.

It is the next course after the TDI Advanced Nitrox course. Or once you are an advanced open water diver. This course examines the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage decompression diving.
Your TDI Instructor will give you all the necessary information and skills you’ll need to complete this course.
Some topics that will be covered :
The TDI Decompressions Procedures Diver Course combined with the TDI Advanced Nitrox course, form the foundation of all other technical courses. After these two courses and some extra experience, the stage has been set for you to move on to other technical levels.
Some of the materials you will be using includes the TDI Divers Guide to Decompression Procedures, US Navy or Buhlmann Air Decompression Tables (made of vinyl for easy in-water use and storage)
The aim of this course is to train divers how to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive.
The most common equipment requirements, gear set-ups, decompression techniques and decompression mixtures (including Oxygen and Nitrox) are presented.
Certain areas of the world provide spectacular dives at depths deeper than 39 metres/130 feet but you may 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 55 metres/180 feet, so you don’t have to miss those dives! The TDI Extended Range Diver Course provides the training and experience necessary including proper techniques, equipment requirements, and hazards of deep air diving, to competently utilize air for dives up to 55 metres/180 feet that require staged decompression, using nitrox mixtures or oxygen during decompression.
Who this course is for:
Course prerequisites :
(these requirements must be met prior to commencement of training) :
The TDI Helitrox Diver Course examines the theory, methods, and procedures for planning staged decompression dives utilizing helium in the breathing mixture to reduce the effects of inert gas narcosis.
The TDI Helitrox Diver Course trains divers how to plan and conduct staged decompression dives to a maximum depth of 45 metres/150 feet. The most common equipment requirements, gear set-up, and decompression techniques are also presented during this course. Students are permitted to utilize enriched air nitrox and helium mixes with no greater than 35% helium content, and up to 100% oxygen for decompression diving.
This program is designed as a stand-alone course, or it may be taught in conjunction with TDI Advanced Nitrox at the discretion of the instructor.

The rebreather – a device accessible to everyone! This machine is not reserved for the elite: all you need is to be properly trained and to be rigorous in applying the rules, and you will open un-hoped for horizons. Rebreather diving is becoming more and more popular – at the latest diving exhibition in Paris there were rebreathers everywhere !
With a rebreather, you breathe calmly through a closed air circuit, which gives you 6 major advantages :
No bubbles, so no noise, you are really in a “world of silence”, which means you can approach the fish in a truly amazing way ;
No more problems of air autonomy – the machine simply completes the oxygen you use, which means you can dive with over 4 hours of autonomy !
Most important of all, the rebreather produces the mix of air you need as you go along, so that the safety stops are absolutely optimised. It is as if you had, when coming back up, dozens of different nitrox mixes (going as far as pure oxygen) to optimise decompression. Not something to be sniffed at!
The air you breathe is warm and moist, which is much pleasanter and avoids considerable loss of heat.
For “deep” divers, the rebreather means a huge saving in gas, and given the high price of helium, this is a considerable advantage and can cut the cost of a dive by 10!!
For demanding dives, it avoids you carrying a ludicrous amount of tanks with you during the dive.
Here is a concrete example: during a 40 meter dive using an “open circuit” (standard tanks) and with a ascent time of 15 minutes, you can stay down at maximum depth no longer than 20 minutes – if your air consumption allows you even that! With a rebreather, you can enjoy the maximum depth for almost 45 minutes, without increasing the ascent time.
Rebreather training comprises 8 dives of at least one hour. The machine used is the Triton mccr. This rebreather is a machine designed for manual management of your oxygen supply. During your training you will learn to adjust your weight-belt and your position in the water. You will also cover the recommended reactions in case of a problem: oxygen failure, drowning of the buckle … The rebreather is reliable since it offers multiple systems. In the case of a failure, a malfunction or simply if you are in doubt, there is always a solution.
You will work on the “what if…”: what do I do if this or that happens.
To move onto even deeper dives, you will need to pass the “Normoxic Trimix Diver” qualification to go down to 70 metres, or the “Hypoxic Trimix Diver” to go down to 100m.
Why use the Triton rebreather?
– First of all, the price, not a negligible factor in view of the price of these devices.
– The size : the triton rebreather is very compact, you can carry it on board with you as hand luggage in the plane, which is reassuring as you eliminate the lost luggage risk.
– Its simplicity : it is mechanic rather than electronic which means less risk of failure, fewer problems, less maintenance, fewer parts to change, less manipulation.
– Security : you are the one who controls your O2%, not an electronic machine.
– Straightforward and robust: for those who travel with their equipment or who live in remote areas, this factor is also important.
– For demanding dives, the triton is a ventral rebreather, which means you can comfortably carry another one on your back.
– The weight and siza of the device when diving – very comfortable!
– It can be used with your BCD, you tank, which can be reduced down to 6l, is then used to supply the rebreather (as a diluter) and as a bail-out tank.
– You will be able to move in the future towards a Sidemount configuration in order to lighten your configuration.
– If you go in for more demanding dives, the lightweight ventral Triton will fix onto your back harness and will connect up to your other tank, which acts as a diluter and bail-out. The Triton itself is supplied with oxygen through a small aluminium 1.5 litre tank.
– This configuration opens up a whole range of possibilities in terms of dive time, and also in terms of doubling up, thereby improving security.

We offer TDI/SDI Sidemount diver course. Which gives you the opportunity to dive with 2+ cylinders for extended dive times.
The Tec Sidemount diver course is a good first step if you are interested in technical diving, because the skills you learn in this course will train you to handle multiple cylinders on a single dive.
You can combine what you learned in the Tec Sidemount diver course with other open-circuit tech and recreational courses that you take. Or certifications you’ve already earned. To take advantage of sidemount’s cylinder configuration and handling advantages.
This course is not only recommended for Technical Divers. Its always a good way if you would like to become cave divers or Advanced Nitrox Divers. Or if you would like to extended range or Trimix 60 course on Sidemount. No, it is a great way to explore new limits also in Recreational Diving.
At one point or another, many divers have found themselves alone during a dive, whether it was intentional or not. SDI’s Solo Diving is the practice of self reliant scuba diving without a “dive buddy.”Solo diving, once considered technical diving and discouraged by most certification agencies, is now seen by many experienced divers and some certification agencies as an acceptable practice for those divers suitably trained and experienced. Rather than relying on the traditional buddy diving safety system, solo divers should be skilled in self-sufficiency and willing to take responsibility for their own safety while diving.
Being one of SDI’s most popular courses, the Solo Diver course stresses proper dive planning, personal limitations, and accident prevention, as well as the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for diving solo. You will also learn the additional equipment that is required for solo diving including its proper usage and assembly. This is the perfect course for underwater photography and underwater video divers as well as those diving with their children or buddies that may not be very experienced in scuba diving.
Who this course is for :
The certified SDI Advanced Diver (or equivalent) who is interested in learning how to dive independent of a dive buddy, or looking to strengthen your buddy team diving skills.
Course prerequisites :
What you can expect to learn :
The SDI Solo Diver course takes an in-depth look at all of the following and more:
Purpose:
This course is intended to help prepare divers for further technical trining by introducing equipment configurations and spending time on basic skills such as buoyancy, trim, situational awareness and team skills.
Prerequisites:
Any certified diver with at least 25 logged dives may take this class

It is the next course after the TDI Advanced Nitrox course. Or once you are an advanced open water diver. This course examines the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage decompression diving.
Your TDI Instructor will give you all the necessary information and skills you’ll need to complete this course.
Some topics that will be covered :
The TDI Decompressions Procedures Diver Course combined with the TDI Advanced Nitrox course, form the foundation of all other technical courses. After these two courses and some extra experience, the stage has been set for you to move on to other technical levels.
Some of the materials you will be using includes the TDI Divers Guide to Decompression Procedures, US Navy or Buhlmann Air Decompression Tables (made of vinyl for easy in-water use and storage)
The aim of this course is to train divers how to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive.
The most common equipment requirements, gear set-ups, decompression techniques and decompression mixtures (including Oxygen and Nitrox) are presented.
Certain areas of the world provide spectacular dives at depths deeper than 39 metres/130 feet but you may 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 55 metres/180 feet, so you don’t have to miss those dives! The TDI Extended Range Diver Course provides the training and experience necessary including proper techniques, equipment requirements, and hazards of deep air diving, to competently utilize air for dives up to 55 metres/180 feet that require staged decompression, using nitrox mixtures or oxygen during decompression.
Who this course is for:
Course prerequisites :
(these requirements must be met prior to commencement of training) :
The TDI Helitrox Diver Course examines the theory, methods, and procedures for planning staged decompression dives utilizing helium in the breathing mixture to reduce the effects of inert gas narcosis.
The TDI Helitrox Diver Course trains divers how to plan and conduct staged decompression dives to a maximum depth of 45 metres/150 feet. The most common equipment requirements, gear set-up, and decompression techniques are also presented during this course. Students are permitted to utilize enriched air nitrox and helium mixes with no greater than 35% helium content, and up to 100% oxygen for decompression diving.
This program is designed as a stand-alone course, or it may be taught in conjunction with TDI Advanced Nitrox at the discretion of the instructor.

The rebreather – a device accessible to everyone! This machine is not reserved for the elite: all you need is to be properly trained and to be rigorous in applying the rules, and you will open un-hoped for horizons. Rebreather diving is becoming more and more popular – at the latest diving exhibition in Paris there were rebreathers everywhere !
With a rebreather, you breathe calmly through a closed air circuit, which gives you 6 major advantages :
No bubbles, so no noise, you are really in a “world of silence”, which means you can approach the fish in a truly amazing way ;
No more problems of air autonomy – the machine simply completes the oxygen you use, which means you can dive with over 4 hours of autonomy !
Most important of all, the rebreather produces the mix of air you need as you go along, so that the safety stops are absolutely optimised. It is as if you had, when coming back up, dozens of different nitrox mixes (going as far as pure oxygen) to optimise decompression. Not something to be sniffed at!
The air you breathe is warm and moist, which is much pleasanter and avoids considerable loss of heat.
For “deep” divers, the rebreather means a huge saving in gas, and given the high price of helium, this is a considerable advantage and can cut the cost of a dive by 10!!
For demanding dives, it avoids you carrying a ludicrous amount of tanks with you during the dive.
Here is a concrete example: during a 40 meter dive using an “open circuit” (standard tanks) and with a ascent time of 15 minutes, you can stay down at maximum depth no longer than 20 minutes – if your air consumption allows you even that! With a rebreather, you can enjoy the maximum depth for almost 45 minutes, without increasing the ascent time.
Rebreather training comprises 8 dives of at least one hour. The machine used is the Triton mccr. This rebreather is a machine designed for manual management of your oxygen supply. During your training you will learn to adjust your weight-belt and your position in the water. You will also cover the recommended reactions in case of a problem: oxygen failure, drowning of the buckle … The rebreather is reliable since it offers multiple systems. In the case of a failure, a malfunction or simply if you are in doubt, there is always a solution.
You will work on the “what if…”: what do I do if this or that happens.
To move onto even deeper dives, you will need to pass the “Normoxic Trimix Diver” qualification to go down to 70 metres, or the “Hypoxic Trimix Diver” to go down to 100m.
Why use the Triton rebreather?
– First of all, the price, not a negligible factor in view of the price of these devices.
– The size : the triton rebreather is very compact, you can carry it on board with you as hand luggage in the plane, which is reassuring as you eliminate the lost luggage risk.
– Its simplicity : it is mechanic rather than electronic which means less risk of failure, fewer problems, less maintenance, fewer parts to change, less manipulation.
– Security : you are the one who controls your O2%, not an electronic machine.
– Straightforward and robust: for those who travel with their equipment or who live in remote areas, this factor is also important.
– For demanding dives, the triton is a ventral rebreather, which means you can comfortably carry another one on your back.
– The weight and siza of the device when diving – very comfortable!
– It can be used with your BCD, you tank, which can be reduced down to 6l, is then used to supply the rebreather (as a diluter) and as a bail-out tank.
– You will be able to move in the future towards a Sidemount configuration in order to lighten your configuration.
– If you go in for more demanding dives, the lightweight ventral Triton will fix onto your back harness and will connect up to your other tank, which acts as a diluter and bail-out. The Triton itself is supplied with oxygen through a small aluminium 1.5 litre tank.
– This configuration opens up a whole range of possibilities in terms of dive time, and also in terms of doubling up, thereby improving security.
