DSAT Tec Deep Training
The end objective is that you’ll learn to make technical dives using multiple cylinders – twin set with isolator manifold plus deco cylinders, carrying out gas switches during ascent to accelerate your decompression schedule (or enhance the safety of your dive). You’ll become certified to dive using nitrox blends of up to 100% oxygen for decompression. Training begins with theory and shallow water work, before joining a full wreck diving expedition aboard MV Trident.
Prerequisites of the DSAT Tech diving course:
• Current CPR/First Aid Training • PADI Deep Diver Specialty and EANX (Nitrox) Specialty • 18 years old • 100 logged dives • 20 logged dives using nitrox • 25 logged dives deeper than 18m • 15 logged dives deeper than 30m • Able to carry 50kg of scuba gear
What’s Involved in the DSAT Tec Course:Theory
• Equipment Configuration • Gas and Dive Planning • Physiological issues • Use of PC software to plan decompression schedules • Run times and decompression schedules • Multi Gas dive computers and gauges • Narcosis Management • Physical fitness requirements
Shallow water work
This means you’re able to act automatically whilst under heavy narcosis at depth. Skills will include: • Buoyancy control both on the bottom and during deco stops • Gas switching • Emergency gas shutdown drills • Long hose gas sharing drills • Deploying a lift bag • Executing a dive profile, sticking to run times to complete your decompression schedule
Wreck Diving Expedition
Once your skills and theory are complete, you’ll join one of our tech live-aboard expeditions, diving deep wreck throughout the Gulf of Thailand. As such, it’s important that we co-ordinate your tech course so that it coincides with one of our many tech diving expeditions – for a list of available dates and to find out which wrecks you have the chance to dive, drop us an email.
