Open circuit courses

STDA proposes scuba diving courses with 3 recreational levels (from beginners to advanced) and 3 for decompression diving. For divers that come from oher agencies that want to go on with STDA advanced diving and don't know the hogartian configuration and the DIR approach, the first course is the 'Fundamentals - Intro to Tech'.

  • R1 - Open Water Diver
  • R2 - Advanced Open Water Diver
  • R2 Deep - (includes the Rescue Module)
  • EANx Diver - (R1 & R2 course sections)
  • Fundamentals - Intro to Tech
  • T 1 - Trimix Decompression 50 mts
  • T 2 - Trimix decompression 60 mts
  • T 3 - Trimix Decompression 80 mts


For all the courses it's possible to attend the theory sessions through the web. In this way you can use your time at the best. Same thing if you want to come in Italy to attend your courses. You can do the theory lessons before your coming. Contact us at: info@stdahq.com

T3 – decompression Tri-mix 80 meters course (STDA™)

Targets

The 'T 3' course aims to complete the training started with the 'T 2' expanding the theoretical and practical knowledge and experience, to dive at a maximum depth of 80 meters, using Tri-mix and multiple decompression mixtures. The structure of the program is the same of the previous courses: theory, confined water sessions and open water dives. The 'T 3' program is mainly focused on decompression theory and procedures, to extend the range of the dives. With the positively conclusion of the course the diver will be able to plan and dive till 80 meters depth.

STDA fixes the 80mts depth as limit for the OC diving and considers rebreathers the logical diving equipment for deep dives, just below 60 mts depth.
