AN INTRODUCTION TO TWIN SET DIVING

Course information:
If you are thinking of going down the technical diving route but have never used a twin set before, this is an ideal way to start. This is a non certification course intended to familiarize divers with the use of twin sets, either as an introduction to technical diving techniques and equipment or as a way of safely extending bottom times. Our aim is to provide a course using the equipment at the depths it will be used and equip the diver with the necessary skills and confidence to safely conduct this type of diving.
This is a 2 day course covering , kit configurations (hose placement, use of wings, back plates and harnesses, manifolds and accessory placement), buoyancy checks, gas shut downs, advanced buoyancy control ( body positioning, horizontal hovering, streamlining), gas management and dive planning and delayed SMB deployment.

Dive No. 1 is at a max depth of 5m around Swanage Pier to familiarize students with the new kit and then practice skills in shallow water.

Dive No.2 is conducted from a boat at a maximum depth of 14m.The skills are again practiced at this depth along with an ascent from depth.

The concluding Dive No.3 is conducted at a minimum depth of 24m and maximum 30m. Skills are again repeated prior to a guided dive around a suitable wreck, concluding with bag deployment and ascent from depth.
No attempt is made to have large class numbers and our ideal class size would be 2 students with an instructor and divemaster.
One to one classes are always welcome as we try to customize our courses to suit your individual needs. For this reason we would advise students to use their own equipment.

Course costs.
The 2 day course costs £250 and includes equipment configuration session, all boat fees, all gas including nitrox for dive no. 3, instruction and supervised dives. Twin sets are available for hire if necessary.

Course prerequisites.
Students should be entry level nitrox and deep diver qualified, with a minimum of 50 dives, or provide the instructor with proof of experience to continue at this level of training.
