Instruction
Welcome! You've come to the
best possible place to explore the possibilities. Since 1960, Instructor members
of the National Association of
Underwater Instructors - NAUI Worldwide - (the most respected certification
agency) have been training people just like you to be the best Skin and
Scuba Divers in the world - to dive safely and to have fun! We now offer a full
array of Technical Diving Specialty Courses as well.
NAUI Technical Diving courses and training manuals are designed to provide
more detailed training than specialty diver courses and result in more
extensive qualifications.
Mixed Gas Blender and Oxygen
Service Technician
This course is designed to
provide the student with the skills and knowledge needed
to safely handle high pressure gases and prepare Oxygen Enriched Air and Helium
base gas mixes for use by divers. The course also provides the student with the
skill
and knowledge to clean, test, and document testing of equipment for use with
high
levels of oxygen use.

Price: $350 Excluding Materia;s
This course is to provide the Oxygen Enriched
Air Diver with the skills and knowledge
needed to minimize the risks of utilizing optimal oxygen enriched air mixtures
of EAN25
to EAN80 for dives to a depth of 150fsw (46 msw) not requiring stage
decompression.
This course may be taken in conjunction with Decompression Techniques Diver
Course.

Semi-closed Circuit UBA’s
Price: $550
This course is designed to
provide the diver with the skills and knowledge needed to
minimize the risks of using Semi-closed Circuit Rebreathers to a maximum depth
of
130 fsw (39.6 msw). Semi-closed Circuit Rebreathers used for NAUI certification
courses must have been independently tested before NAUI will authorize NAUI
training
on a specific model.

Technical Support Leader
Price: $700
Become a NAUI Technical Support Leader! The Technical
Support Leader (TSL) course is designed to train
knowledgeable NAUI Divemasters and Assistant
Instructors who are also technical divers to act as
part of a support team for technical diving and
training activities.
A Technical Support Leader provides assistance to
teams of technical divers provided diving conditions
and methods approximate those in which your TSL
training occurs. Your TSL responsibilities might
include shuttling of equipment, removal and
replacement of staged decompression gases and
equipment, rigging and setting up decompression
stations and gases and monitoring divers during ascent
and staged decompression stops.
Requirements:
-
18 years old -
-
Certified as a NAUI Technical EANx Diver, NAUI Rescue Diver, Oxygen Provider and NAUI Divemaster or NAUI Assistant Instructor
-
- Have assisted with the open
water portions of at least two entry-level or
continuing education diver courses -
- 75 logged
dives with 10 dives below 100 fsw / 30 msw, and 15 Nitrox dives. -
Decompression Techniques
Diver
Price: $350
As you continue your technical diver training, one of
the courses you'll want to take is Decompression
Techniques, in which you will gain a working knowledge
of the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage
decompression diving. Your training will include a
minimum of six dives including planning and executing
a standard stage decompression dive
less than 130 fsw
/ 40 msw.
Your instructor will also teach you equipment
requirements including team requirements and NAUI
Technical Equipment Configuration (NTEC), and
decompression breathing gas mixtures (including
oxygen, Helitrox, and EANx). You'll learn the
practical skills and knowledge you need for
decompression diving within course parameters.
Requirements:
-
18 years old -
-
NAUI
Master Scuba Diver, Deep Diver Specialty, Technical
EANx Diver and Helitrox Diver certifications (or their
equivalents)-
- Have assisted with the open
water portions of at least two entry-level or
continuing education diver courses -
- 75 logged dives -
You may enroll
in the Decompression Techniques course. With
additional dives and training, your instructor may opt
to combine this course with Technical EANx (Nitrox)
Diver or Helitrox Diver.
Cavern Diver
Price: $350
Cavern Diver is a no-decompression course designed to
teach you the fundamental skills and knowledge for
cavern diving above 100 fsw / 30 msw and at a combined
depth and distance penetration less than 200 feet / 60
meters from the surface.
During your course, you will complete a minimum of
three cavern dives in at least two different sites
within daylight and no-decompression limits, and
become proficient in the use of spools and reels, team
and line placement, and zero visibility/touch contact
communications while following a line, as well as many
other skills necessary to be a competent Cavern Diver.
Dive planning (including EANx if used) penetration
distance within cavern diver limits, safety drills,
equipment checks, gas sharing, guideline deployment
and removal techniques, propulsion techniques, lost
teammate and guideline drills and emergency procedures
will also be covered in your Cavern Diver course.
Trimix Diver
Price: $1250
The Trimix Diver Course consists of two levels, Trimix
Diver Level I and Trimix Diver Level II. These courses
will give you the skills and knowledge needed to
minimize the risks of utilizing helium-based Trimix
breathing gas mixes for dives to a maximum depth of
250 fsw / 76 msw requiring stage decompression and
utilizing EANx mixtures and/or oxygen during
decompression.
Your Trimix Level I instructor will teach you to plan
and execute technical dives that require stage
decompression and utilize helium-based tri-mix
breathing gas mixtures and EANx and/or oxygen for
stage decompression to depths above 200 fsw / 61 msw.
In your Tri-mix Level II course, you will learn how to
safely extend your diving depths down to no greater
than 250 fsw / 76 msw.
To enroll in either Trimix course, you must be
certified as a NAUI Decompression Techniques Diver and
Technical Helitrox Diver or equivalent, and have a
minimum of 100 logged dives 20 of which must have been
decompression dives.
Intro to Technical Diving Course
Price:
$250
The Introduction to Technical Diving Course (Intro to
Tech) is designed as a bridge from the recreational
diver to an introduction to the rigors and discipline
of technical diving, and is a great preparatory course
if you are considering technical diver training or
interested in streamlining your equipment
configuration.
Your NAUI Intro to Tech instructor will introduce you
to dive planning, physics and physiology,
decompression, and decompression associated with
technical diving. The NAUI Technical Equipment
Configuration (NTEC) course may also be available as
part of your Intro to Tech course or as a separate
technical course.
The Intro to Tech course is your first step to a whole
new world of technical diving
