Targets
The 'T 1' course aims to continuing the training of the 'Intro to Tech' certified diver and develops theoretical and practical knowledge through theory, confined water sessions and open water dives with decompression. The program included a refresh of the basic knowledge going on with the development of the decompression theory and procedures, technical diving skills and emergency procedures. At the end of the course the diver will be able to dive till maximum 50 meters depth using Tri-Mix and EANx mixes, applying the necessary decompression procedures.
Prerequisites

- medical certificate not older than one year; recommended PFO examination (Patent foramen ovale); non smoker
- minimum age: 19 years old
