*******************************************************************************
The next IANTD DECOMPRESSION PROCEDURES COURSE in Spanish is scheduled to start on Monday, October 28 and followed immediately by an IANTD TECHNICAL / NORMOXIC TRIMIX COURSE in MIAMI. Another array of combined courses in Spanish follows in October (right after the DEMA Show), including DECO, Technical, and Trimix. Besides these, we will also offer NITROX/ TRIMIX BLENDING COURSE and a CROSSOVER COURSE to IANTD for instructors wanting to join the ranks of the leading technical agency.

While the TECHNICAL NITROX COURSE has become a popular course among those who hear about it, it is the TRIMIX COURSE that's taking the cake!! Not only that, but complementing courses, such as the DECOMPRESSION COURSE, where you learn to plan, practice and execute scheduled deco hangs alongside your set stage tanks with high oxygen content are now being requested or looked for by more and more divers than ever. Other courses being asked about are the NITROX BLENDING COURSE (next one October 29; the DAN OXYGEN ADMINISTRATION COURSE (next one...September 11-12). We have now combined the closely-related courses on the schedule and able to bring their cost down, so more divers can get to enjoy them. We have already scheduled the next full set of courses (money is saved when several courses are combined, since many redundant contact hours and several dive exercises can be mixed). The sets offer courses in a modular way so that divers can combine them as they prefer, without having to repeat (and pay) for more hours. You can click here for an abridged outline of the TECHNICAL NITROX COURSE.
The TRIMIX COURSE is oriented towards divers interested in performing deeper dives, where NITROX becomes a serious concern and AIR is outright dangerous!! The safety offered by the use of TRIMIX is only one most important of the many, many advantages offered by the use of this gas. The TRIMIX Course is a highly specialized training for serious divers contemplating deeper, longer or deco diving. This course will discuss topics ranging from Risk Analysis through the proper progression of training and equipment redundancy to safely execute dives of extended time and / or depths. We practice and execute dives around the south Florida waters as well as known (and not so well-known) wrecks in the Keys or Bimini with some deep, extended times, and deco diving included. The TRIMIX Course cost $ 675, but much less if combined; books $ 140; Additional required equipment MUST be obtained for the dives.
