This is the entry-level certification course for recreational divers wishing to utilize enriched air nitrox (EAN) as a breathing gas. The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for using nitrox mixes from 22 through 40 percent oxygen content. This course or an equivalent is required for participation in all BAREG trips and expeditions. Prerequisites: Minimum age 18; SDI Open Water Scuba Diver or equivalent.
Required equipment:
- TDI Student Manual (included in course fee).
This course will provide the necessary training to plan and execute dives that are outside the range of depths that are experienced during an SDI Open Water Scuba Diver course, specifically beyond 18 metres / 60 feet and to a maximum depth of not greater than 40 metres / 130 feet. The course places particular focus on gas planning and management, based on known consumption rates. This course is ideally taken in conjunction with the SDI Wreck Diver Course. Prerequisites: Minimum age 18; SDI Open Water Scuba Diver or equivalent.
Required Equipment
• Mask, fins and snorkel
• Buoyancy compensator device with a low-pressure power inflator
• Regulator with submersible pressure gauge
• Alternate air source
• Weight system
• Personal dive computer (PDC)
• Exposure suit adequate for the training conditions
• Compressed gas cylinder
• Compass
• Knife or cutting device
• Rescue signal
• Dry suit with inflator hose (for SDI Dry Suit Diver course)
• 200-400 foot reel (for SDI Wreck Diver course)
• Surface marker buoy (for SDI Deep Diver and SDI Wreck Diver courses)
• SDI Student Manuals (included in course fee)
Recommended Equipment
• Redundant air source (40 cft pony bottle, 1st stage, 2nd stage, SPG)
• Light
Exploring shipwrecks from the World War I and II Battles of the Atlantic is at the heart of the Group. This course will teach members the equipment and techniques necessary for safely diving these wrecks. This course is ideally taken in conjunction with the SDI Deep Diver Course. Prerequisites: Minimum age 18; SDI Open Water Scuba Diver or equivalent. Divers must have a deep diver specialty certification or be able to provide proof of experience in order to dive deeper than 18 metres / 60 feet in this course.

This course introduces students to the world of technical diving. Its objective of this course is to familiarize students with technical equipment configurations, enhance open water diving skills (such as buoyancy, trim, and situational awareness), and to introduce students to advanced gas planning techniques within a no-decompression context. This course is strictly a no-decompression course; students are permitted to use enriched air nitrox (EAN) mixes, provided the gas mix is within their current level of certification. Prerequisites: Minimum age 18; SDI Open Water Scuba Diver or equivalent; proof of a minimum of 25 logged open water dives.
Required Equipment
• Mask and fins
• Buoyancy compensator device with a low-pressure power inflator
• Regulator with submersible pressure gauge
• Alternate air source
• Weight system
• Depth gauge and automatic bottom timer and/or dive computer
• Exposure suit adequate for the training conditions
• Compressed gas cylinder
• Compass
• Knife or cutting device
• Rescue signal
• Dry suit with inflator hose
• 200-400 foot reel
• Surface marker buoy
• Slate/wet notes
• TDI Student Manuals (included in course fee)
