Extended Decompression Instructor
A specialized course for RAID instructors seeking credentials to teach deep air-based technical diving to 55 metres in regions where trimix (helium) is unavailable or impractical. Instructor candidates learn to teach air-based deep diving using compressed air and up to three custom decompression gas cylinders for twinset and sidemount configurations. This course qualifies instructors to deliver advanced technical instruction in regions lacking trimix infrastructure, expanding technical diving accessibility and education.
Prerequisites
