Dive into the depths of technical diving with IDEA Tec courses. Whether you're looking to explore deeper waters, extend your dive times, or navigate through the mysteries of caves and wrecks, our courses provide the advanced training and skills necessary for the extraordinary challenges of tec diving. 1.Apprentice Decompression Diver: The Apprentice Decompression Diver course is designed to familiarize divers with the theory, methods, and procedures of limited decompression diving. 2.Decompression Diver: Moving beyond the apprentice stage, the Decompression Diver course requires divers to have a deeper understanding and skill set for conducting decompression dives. This course involves a minimum of 5 dives, including 330 minutes of decompression, preparing divers for more complex diving situations and advancing their technical diving careers. 3.Helitrox Diver: The Helitrox Diver course offers divers the ability to use helium-enriched nitrox (helitrox) for dives to a maximum depth of 150 feet. This course includes 330 minutes of decompression dive time and is suitable for those who have completed at least 15 Apprentice Deco Dives, focusing on the benefits and management of using helitrox as a breathing gas. 4.Extended Range Diver: This course extends a diver's range to 185 feet with 350 minutes of decompression dive time. Divers learn to plan and execute dives that are more challenging and extend further into the decompression zone. This course is aimed at those who have already certified 10 Decompression Divers. 5.Normoxic Trimix: Divers are introduced to the concept of using trimix to reduce nitrogen narcosis on dives up to 200 feet deep. This course includes 350 minutes of decompression dive time and is available to those who have completed the Helitrox Diver course or have 20 Decompression Diver certifications. 6.Hypoxic Trimix: The most advanced trimix course, Hypoxic Trimix, allows divers to conduct dives using a mix that is hypoxic at the surface for depths beyond 400 feet. A significant amount of decompression dive time (450 minutes) is required, and divers must have certified 15 Trimix Divers before taking this course. 7.Technical Sidemount: This course is focused on the use of sidemount configurations in a technical diving context. It equips divers with the skills to manage multiple cylinders on either side of their body, offering redundancy and increased gas supply for extended range dives. 8.Cavern Diver: The Cavern Diver course is an introduction to the overhead environment, teaching divers to navigate safely within the light zone of a cavern, emphasizing line work, emergency procedures, and conservation practices. 9.Cave 1: Building on the Cavern Diver foundations, Cave 1 takes divers further into the cave environment, focusing on complex navigation, gas management, and problem-solving within the unique challenges of cave diving. 10.Cave 2: As an advanced cave diving course, Cave 2 challenges divers with more intricate dive planning, extended penetration, and advanced navigation techniques in the overhead environment. 11.Stage Cave Diving: This course is for cave divers who wish to use staged decompression to explore deeper into caves, teaching the use of multiple stage cylinders for gas management and extended range. 12.Cave DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle): Divers learn to use DPVs for cave exploration, allowing for greater distances to be covered within caves. Skills focus on vehicle handling, navigation, and emergency procedures. 13.Sidemount Cave Diver Course: This course trains divers in the use of sidemount equipment specifically within the cave environment, offering flexibility and ease of cylinder management. 14.Advanced Sidemount Cave Diver: Advanced Sidemount Cave Divers refine their skills in sidemount equipment use in caves, with an emphasis on complex navigation and techniques for dealing with tight restrictions.

The Advanced Adventure Diver Course is designed for those who've tasted the thrill of diving and crave more. This course introduces you to new diving environments and specialized activities, like deep and navigation diving. You'll complete five adventure dives, gaining experience and skills that pave the way for advanced diving adventures.
