Many of the diving environments around the world are better experienced in a dry suit. Why? These areas have an abundance of marine life waiting to be seen and photographed – they just happen to be a little colder! Dry suits are also used in tropical water during the cooler months.This course allows the student to develop the knowledge and skills to properly use a dry suit. It will discuss the types of dry suits, accessories, maintenance and how to make basic repairs.

The purpose of this course is to acquaint the open water diver with the procedures, techniques, and potential hazards associated with diving at night, or in limited visibility. Becoming familiar with the use of dive lights, and night diving techniques such as navigation, buddy system procedures, communications, buoyancy control, and interacting with nocturnal aquatic life, the diver can safely enjoy night diving.

Interested in diving? SDI Open Water Diver is your first step towards becoming a diver. You will begin your journey by studying basic dive theory. We will then progress into pool where you will learn basic propulsion, buoyancy and skills in a safe and controlled environment and lastly, when you are ready, you will conduct four open water dives under instructor supervision. By the time, you are done , you will be trained to dive to a depth of 60 feet while breathing compressed air.

Your next step into diving! The SDI Advanced Adventure course will give you an overview of five different SDI specialties. Two of the required specialties are the Deep Diving and Underwater Navigation, which are the foundation of continuing diver education. The remaining specialty dives you can opt for include:Advanced Buoyancy ControlComputer Nitrox DiverNight DiverWreck DiverMany more!

This course is designed to give an in-depth look at how dive equipment works. It will cover general repairs and maintenance of various types of exposure suits, BCD’s, regulators, and other accessories.

Extend your bottom time! Nitrox is a breathing gas that has a lot of benefits for both new and experienced divers. This course will cover the use of nitrox mixtures from 22 to 40 percent oxygen.

Feeling ready to venture deeper? SDI Deep Diver course is intended to train you to safely dive to a depth of 130 feet. Besides skill development, this course will cover history of dive tables, nitrogen narcosis, gas planning and consumption and special equipment considerations. This course will take you to the limits of recreational diving and my goal is to give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to conduct these dives.

Would you like to dive and explore a world war submarine? How about a cargo ship or an oil-tanker? SDI Wreck Diver course trains you to dive and explore ship wrecks. We will go over equipment, procedures and techniques employed to dive and explore wrecks.

In this course you will learn how to use your underwater video set up to capture breath-taking video. You will also be given an introduction to video editing and how to market your video to television channels and media buying houses.

Can you manage a dive that has gone wrong? My rescue diving course is based on accident analysis and I teach how to manage some of the more common problems. The rescue certification course is designed to develop the knowledge and necessary skills for an individual to effectively perform diver rescues and assists so that you can become a dafer and more confident diver in the group.

Rather than relying on the traditional buddy diving safety system, SDI Solo diver course develops self-sufficiency. 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.

The SDI Divemaster Course is the first professional level certification. During the course you will learn how to work with instructors, lead certified divers, and act as a dive guide showing divers underwater dive sites and the marine life that inhabits those dives sites. You will increase your knowledge about physics and physiology as well as increase your proficiency with your scuba and snorkeling skills.

: As a more robust nitrox course than the Computer Nitrox this course also trains divers in the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for using nitrox mixes from 22 through 40 percent oxygen content.

The TDI Intro to Tech course introduces students to the world of technical diving. The objective of this course is to familiarize students with technical equipment configurations, to enhance open water diving skills (such as buoyancy, trim, advanced propulsion and situational awareness), and to introduce students to advanced gas planning techniques within a no-decompression context. This course is strictly a no-decompression course that will train students in precision diving.

Are you looking to expand your dive time? Maybe you’re a scientific diver or photographer looking to stay in the water a little longer?The TDI Advanced Nitrox Course qualifies divers to use enriched air nitrox from EAN 21 through EAN 100 percent within your current certification level to a maximum depth of 40 metres/130 feet during dives that do not require staged decompression. Often taught in conjunction with the TDI Decompression Procedures course, this can be considered the foundation of your technical diving career. TDI Advanced Nitrox is also a must for SCR or CCR divers.

Are you finding your no- decompression limits (NDLs) a limiting factor to dives? Do you have to ascend sooner than you would like? As sport divers, planned decompression is not something that we do or have been taught.The TDI Decompression Procedures Course prepares you for planned staged decompression diving. With a maximum operating depth of 45 metres/150 feet, this course is your first step beyond the normal sport diving limits. The TDI Decompression Procedures Course combined with the TDI Advanced Nitrox course form the foundation of all other technical courses. After these two courses and some additional experience, the stage has been set for you to move onto additional technical levels.
