Decompression Procedures


This course examines the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. The objective of this course is to train divers how to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive not exceeding a maxium depth of 150fsw/50msw unless taught in conjuction with advanced nitrox, Extended Range or Advanced Wreck Courses. The most common equipment requirments, gear set-ups, decompression techniques and decompression mixtures (including oxygen and nitrox) are presented.

While we do not require you to have a formal decompression course before enrolling in our cave classes we HIGHLY suggest it. During your apprentice cave diver classes we will be doing limited decompression and during full cave we may be required to do more than just limited decompression.
