Deep Dive Operations is Dive Rescue International’s two day (16 hour) training program for certified Public Safety Divers who may respond in water depths up to 130 feet. This program is conducted in classroom and open-water. After orientation, students practice skills in 4 open water dives over 2 days.
The objectives of the Deep Diver program are to establish a baseline set of skills and processes for deep dive operations. Students learn the skills to plan and conduct Open Circuit, No-Deco, Scuba Dives between depths of 60’ to 130’ of water.
Key training topics include:
REVIEW OF DIVING PHYSICS AND DIVE PHYSIOLOGY
PLANNING SAFE DEEP DIVES
USE OF PLATFORMS OR VESSELS TO SUPPORT SAFE DEEP DIVE OPERATIONS
NITROGEN NARCOSIS
