Course

This innovative IANTD specialty program offers the fundamental knowledge to increase the proficiency and safety of the advanced or technical diver in diving through practice and training in the use of the Hogarthian minimalist system, which is already widely used in speleo-underwater exploration.

It introduces and lays the foundations for any future course in advanced and technical diving, in wrecks or in caves and obstructed environments in general.

It further improves the level of training of expert divers.

It teaches new drive systems and improves posture and posture.

This shows that IANTD was the first to promote and teach it to a wider audience of divers who are not involved in speleo-underwater research.

The IANTD Deep Air course is very important, as it marks the transition between a recreational diver and an advanced diver. It was developed to help the IANTD student know the right drills, have the adequate training, experience, knowledge and equipment necessary to undertake diving to 40 meters in a proper and safe manner.

Overview of exchange rates

The Deep Air IANTD course develops more how to work together with your partner, but independently, without mutual dependencies. Autonomy and self-rescue develop a greater security that goes along with that represented by a companion.

Air supply management is another important part of the course that distinguishes it from all the previous ones and from those of other agencies. Then again the management of body posture under water, buoyancy and appropriate types of strokes and numerous exercises of psychomotor development that make this course the excellence of its kind.

The Deep Air IANTD course will connect all the above factors in an organic and sensible way, following a precise learning sequence, so that the diver through proper training can use his knowledge to dive in perfect safety within the limits of his training.

At the end of the course, the International Association of Nitrox and Technical Divers will issue a corresponding patent.

Course prerequisites

Possess IANTD Advanced Open Water Diver certification or equivalent be 15 years old with instruction authorization.

Educational materials for courses

During the course it is mandatory to use the IANTD DEEP AIR DIVER manual with the relevant diving charts. Dives must be recorded in the appropriate dive log and signed by the instructor.

Duration of the course

• Eight (8) theory lessons as specified in the manual.
• At least one session in closed water to develop diving skills.
• A minimum of one hundred minutes of diving (bottom time) should be performed in four (4) dives, two of which at a depth between 27 m and 40 m and one at a maximum depth of 40 m.

Course

The IANTD Essential DPV Diver course was the first program of its kind, specifically designed to provide students with complete and adequate training in exercises and theoretical knowledge necessary for effective and safe interaction with a DPV (Diver Propulsion) Vehicle, in Italian: underwater dragger) and make them acquire confidence and responsibility in this type of training based on the experience gained as a diver.

Course overview and purpose

1. The Essential DPV Diver course must be developed with a minimum of 100 minutes of water + theory.
2. Credits are not allowed.
3. Theoretical lessons will focus on the following topics:
   • Advantages and risks of DPV.
   • Equipment.
   • Diving techniques.
   • Load distribution – Planning.
   • Gas sharing techniques.
   • Traction techniques.
   • Emergency techniques.
   • Transport and storage.
   • Maintenance.

Course requirements

1. At least 18 years old.
2. Be qualified as a minimum Advanced Open Water Diver (or equivalent from another recognized agency) with 25 certified dives.

Course overview and purpose

1. At least one session in closed water to develop diving skills.
2. A minimum of one hundred (100) minutes of diving (bottom time) should be performed in four (4) dives.
3. Maximum depth 18 meters and without decompression stops.
4. The maximum depth of the exercise is 10 meters.
5. Only in the final dive and only if the student has performed all the exercises correctly, a height of 30 m can be reached.
6. A dive must not have mandatory decompression, but only safety decompression.
7. Visibility must be good (minimum 15 meters).

COURSE

This innovative specialty program offers the fundamental knowledge to increase diving ability and safety using the side mount system, that is, the use of tanks mounted on the diver’s hips rather than the back.
Therefore, the course will be developed through the knowledge and use of this special tank belt and the diver’s buoyancy system.

COURSE OVERVIEW

1. Equipment checklist.
2. Knowledge and use of side mounting equipment.
3. Using a side mount configuration.
4. Carrying out dry tests on lateral assembly exercises.
5. Installing the side mount
6. Side mount propulsion techniques.
7. Emergency management exercises from the sidelines.
8. Remove and return equipment to the surface smoothly and without catching.
9. The gas used is the one/s specified in the patents owned by the student.

COURSE PREREQUISITES

1. IANTD Advanced Open Water Diver certification or equivalent from another educational agency.
2. 18 years.
3. Medical certificate of suitability for diving.
4. After signing the IANTD form “Aced and Waiver of Liability”.

COURSE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS

IANTD Diver Educational Side Mount Kit.

COURSE DURATION

This course essentially represents knowing and using a configuration of equipment that is completely different from what has been used so far. Dry lessons must be conducted on the composition and use of the side mounting system.
After that, a section in closed waters must be performed to practice the sidecarrying exercises. Finally, a minimum of 120 minutes of bottom time must be completed using the side mount to complete in a maximum of 4 dives.
