BARAKUDA-Tec Fundamental

                                        Course Objective

                                                The Tec Fundamental Course mediates the basic skills which are relevant for all technical dives.
                                                This course is the entrance to technical diving and the precondition for all further courses.
                                                Tec Fundamental concentrates mainly on precision of buoyancy/Trim, finning techniques, Team-
                                                awareness as well as controlled ascends with the use of a surface marker buoy. A proper
                                                equipment configuration also comes to the fore.

                                               

                                        Preconditions

                                                Minimum Barakuda AOWD or equivalent, Nitrox Basic, minimum 50 dives.
                                                Equipment preconditions in accordance to regulations.

                                        Course duration

                                                Approx. 6 hrs theory with final exam, minimum 3h dive time, recommendations are approx. 4
                                                dives

                                        Course contents

BARAKUDA Tec Advanced

                                        Course objective

                                                The Tec Advanced course deepens the Tec Fundamental skills, which are essential for safe
                                                technical diving. During this course, critical situations - loss of backgas, decompression
                                                failures, etc. will be trained and special account will be given to identification and
                                                resolution of the problems.
                                                During the Tec Advanced, students will learn how to handle a stage and the potential
                                                malfunctions related to it. Furthermore, dive profiles with obligatory deco and gas switches
                                                (Barakuda recommends NX 50 below 21 mtrs ) will be trained. Controlled open water ascends
                                                as well as emergency decompression and diving to a runtime, are also part of this course.

                                                calculation of Bestix, background of standardgases, emergency management.
                                               

                                                Cost: Euro 584,-

  

 BARAKUDA Trimix 60

                                        Course objective

                                                The Trimix-60 course will extend your education with more complex and deeper dives. The
                                                student will learn how to carry out demanding and safe decompression dives with 2 stages/
                                                gas-changes and normoxic trimix ( TMX ) as back gas - up to a depth of max. 60 meters.
                                                Now, a second decompression gas ( Barakuda recommends EAN 50 and 100% oxygen ) will
                                                be used. Next to an advanced theoretical instruction, open-water stress-management, rescue
                                                skills and ascends will be trained.
