Consists of seven knowledge development sections, four practical application sessions and four training dives. Designed for the diver transitioning from recreational diving to technical diving.
Equipment to learn
- Single wing type BCD
- Aluminum tank S80 or S72
- Deco gas S40
Equipment to be prepared by yourself
Student Prerequisites
- PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or Equivalent
- PADI Enriched Air Diver
