Course
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.
