SSI Extended Range

SSI Extended Range divers will be trained to utilize singles with H-valves or twinsets, and stage cylinders. They will be introduced to advanced dive planning and make training dives as deep as 150 feet. Students will also learn oxygen procedures and may use hyperoxic nitrox gases for limited decompression and to improve off-gas efficiency at safety stops.

"The intent of this course is to provide divers with the training necessary to independently plan and conduct limited decompression dives to a maximum depth of 150 feet utilizing technical diving equipment and procedures with an equally qualified dive buddy."
