It's been a few months since we last delivered any technical diver training, and in that time a lot of things have changed. Like most divers, we are eager to get back in the water delivering training.

Breathing Rates in Emergency Situations & Bailouts
Sunday, 24 April 2016
SDI TDI UK shared this document over on Facebook not that long ago. It will make interesting reading to any diver, but especially technical divers and even more so rebreather divers. http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrpdf/rr1073.pdf If you are planning your bailout on your normal (and probably optimistic) breathing rate of 15 to 20 litres per minute then the
Is 10/52 Always the Best Diluent?
Friday, 26 December 2014
When venturing beyond the typical air diving range on a rebreather a trimix diluent must be used. However, because a rebreather effectively blends the gas mix on your back to turn it into a better mix to breath, divers have a tendency to just reach for the same diluents.

Stage Cylinder Rigging
Friday, 19 July 2013
On most courses that we teach, a lot of time is spent reconfiguring student’s stage and / or bailout cylinders. This is to be fully expected on entry level courses, where a student may not have dived with a stage before, or may have bought it specially for the course. On higher level courses a
