Technical Diving

When SCUBA is no longer a hobby, it's a way of life!

Technical diving is defined as diving in an overhead environment such as in a cave, inside a wreck or a where a deco stop is required. In other words it's diving beyond recreational dive limit, and it is fun.

There are opportunities for technical diving nearly everywhere that there's recreational diving, and a good many opportunities where no recreational diving exists at all.

Technical diving can be done locally, in caves, under the ice, inside wrecks, in the Caribbean, or almost any where there is a body of water.

In addition to our technical training, we carry a full line of specialized technical equipment, offer mixed gas fills, service & oxygen clean equipment as well as tanks, and run local technical trips.

Technical Training available through Village Divers

Name
Description
Cost

Advanced Wreck
This course provides the training and experience to competently conduct advanced wreck dives, penetration skills and techniques are covered.
$495.00

Advanced Nitrox Diver
This course examines the use of EAN 21 through 50% (oxygen) for optimal mixes to a depth of 130fsw/45msw. The object of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for utilizing EAN 21 through 50% (oxygen) for dives not requiring staged decompression. (Decompression techniques may be combined with this course at the discretion of the instructor).
$395.00

Recreational TriMix
An introduction to the use of Helium in your breathing gas. Narked at 90 is a thing of the past! Heavy emphasis is placed on buoyancy and controlled ascents.

This course is a pre-requisite for Advanced Recreational TriMix.
$250.00

Advanced Recreational TriMix
A direct continuation of Recreational TriMix this course extends diving depths using Helium and introduces the use of Nitrox as a deco gas.
$395.00

Advanced Recreational Trimix Diver & Decompression Procedures
This course examines the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. The objective of this course is to train divers how to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive not exceeding a maximum depth of 150fsw/50msw when taught with Advanced Recreational Trimix. Deco gasses up to 100% O2 will be used. The most common equipment requirements, gear setups, decompression techniques and decompression mixtures (including oxygen and nitrox) are presented.

$595.00

Technical Diver
This Program is designed to train divers to conduct dives to depths between 100 fsw (30 msw) and at the instructors option upto 170 fsw (51 msw) using custom blend breathing gas mixtures; and to provide greater understanding of custom blend breathing gas mixtures, a complete knowledge of the limits of any EANx mixture, and the use of EANx and oxygen for decompression.
$595.00

Normoxic TriMix Diver
This Program is designed to train those who wish to dive to depths between 130 fsw (39 msw) and 200 fsw (60 msw), but who do not wish to breathe air below 130 fsw (39 msw). Trimix affords a means of reducing narcosis on dives to such depths.

Trimix
Helium and diving were made for each other. You don't have to be a super tech diver to enjoy the benefits of helium. Breathing high partial pressures of Nitrogen is dangerous and hard on the body, so why do it? Replacing nitrogen with helium is a reasonable thing to do for single tank dives as shallow as 100'. What helium does for the 140-170 foot range (previously "deep air") is nothing short of miraculous. You remember the dive, you perform well under stress and you feel better after the dive. Helium is our friend :-)
$1500.00

Regulator Service Technician
We will teach you to break down, service and overhaul your regulator. Since we believe that these skills might come in handy while on a dive, we emphasize field repair.
$350.00

Trimix Gas Blender
This class is intended to explain the standards, properties, equipment, oxygen safety, handling procedures for blending mixed gases.
$495.00
