Why do technical diving?
There are countless reasons to learn and do technical diving. Despite being a type of diving that demands great discipline, special training, more equipment, and the right attitude, it is nevertheless desired by many recreational divers. Here are some of the reasons why:
CURIOSITY. Why miss out on safely visiting fantastic dive sites just because they are a few dozen meters below our certification level? Technical diving is a fundamental tool for visiting a considerable number of shipwrecks and extraordinary locations closed to recreational diving.
EXPLORATION. It's a privilege to reach places few people reach, or even better, to be the first to discover them. There are no words to describe the feeling of being the first to discover a shipwreck or enter a cave.
ACCOMPLISHMENT. Anything worth doing requires training, time, commitment, and discipline. There is an undeniable sense of accomplishment when we go further and are more capable.
"It's difficult to imagine any aspect of our lives that isn't enhanced by competition, the drive for excellence, and the recognition of excellence."
Sheck Exley

ADRENALINE. Technical diving isn't for adventurers, but the extraordinary sensation of exploring a submerged cave or being dozens of meters above the surface is inexplicable.
SSI XR EXTENDED RANGE COURSES
Extended Range Trimix
(triox/ one deco stage)
ABOUT THE COURSE: This course covers the theory, methods, and procedures of planned dives with decompression profiles. The program can be taught using air or trimix as bottom gas, or air. The objective of the course is to train divers in the planning and execution of dives with decompression profiles (max 25 minutes) using a decompression mixture up to 100% O2, not exceeding a depth of 45 m. In the course you will learn the DIR protocols and techniques used in decompression dives. The course is usually given over 4-5 days.

Hypoxic Trimix
(Trimix / two deco stages + bottom stage)
ABOUT THE COURSE: The objective of the course is to train students to perform decompression using two decompression mixtures, using hypoxic trimix as a bottom gas.
During the course, students acquire knowledge about the advantages, precautions to take, and decompression strategies when using helium in mixtures used as a bottom gas. In the practical part, the course is based on the techniques and protocols of the DIR philosophy when using helium as a bottom gas in the exploration of depths up to 100m. The course is usually given in 4-5 days.
