INTRO TO TECH / ESSENTIALS / BASIC NITROX COURSE

Why take the Intro to Tech / Essentials / Basic Nitrox course?

The Intro to Tech / Essentials / Nitrox class is a gateway into technical and cave training and an excellent way to experience technical diving personally.

Some divers use the Intro to Tech / Essentials / Basic Nitrox course to build on the less-than-optimal training they received in traditional fast-track entry-level recreational courses. Others see the course as a ticket to participate in technical and cave classes and projects. Many technical divers, and even experienced Open Water Instructors, use the course to sharpen basic skills and access advanced technical cave training programs. Divers with very diverse backgrounds often share the same class, which makes this course unique in the diving industry. Everyone benefits, regardless of their current certification level or experience.

Who is it for?

The IANTD/IDF Intro to Tech / Essentials / Basic Nitrox allows all divers to advance basic diving skills. It provides a gateway into technical and cave training programs for non-technical trained divers (already certified by any recognized diving agency).

This course also teaches divers about the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for using Nitrox mixtures up to 100 percent oxygen, and how to plan and conduct standard staged decompression dives.

What will I learn?

Course outcomes include, but are not limited to: technical equipment configuration and use (Basic 5 skill), trim and buoyancy, propulsion techniques including backward kicks and helicopter turn, valve management (V-Drill skill), gas sharing (S-Drill skill), DSMB deployment, and unconscious diver rescue from the bottom.

This course supplements any training divers may have already received and builds confidence in their basic skills, even if they do not want to pursue more advanced training. The course also includes the theory and use of basic nitrox with the appropriate certification.
