KISS Sidewinder and Spirit 

Rebreather courses are unit specific. Cristina is certified and qualified TDI KISS Sidewinder and KISS Spirit rebreather instructor.

If you are uncertain about your choice of unit, you can contact Cristina for a one on one personal conversation about the differences between a sidemount rebreather and a back-mount rebreather and which option would work best for you and your application.

You can order your rebreather directly through Cristina and have it shipped to your residence upon signing up for the course. Please note that a vital piece of your rebreather will be retained by your instructor as per manufacturer and industry rules, to be provided upon start of the course.

Schedule

One day theory and unit review, with preparation and test in confined water

One day confined water training at a local freshwater site (park fee and fuel surcharge plus tanks and air fills apply)

One day open water training at a local freshwater site (fuel surcharge plus tanks and air fills apply)

Three days of open water training from a local boat (tanks and Eanx fills, plus boat fee apply)

Unit rental is per day; oxygen and sorb are per use. Due to the course structure, the sorb is changed on four out of the six days of training, and the unit requires a total of 6lbs of sorb per change.

Advanced Nitrox And Decompression Procedures

The TDI Advanced Nitrox course combined with the TDI Decompression Procedures Course form the foundation of all other technical courses.

The TDI Advanced Nitrox Course qualifies divers to use enriched air nitrox from EAN 21 through EAN 100 percent within your current certification level to a maximum depth of 40 metres/130 feet during dives that do not require staged decompression. Combined with Decompression Procedures you will plan staged decompression diving with a maximum operating depth of 45 metres/150 feet. These courses are not taught separately.

Duration is six days

Sidemount Course

The Sidemount course teaches students how to utilize side-mounted primary cylinders as an alternative to the traditional back-mounted method.

The Sidemount Diver course is a complete and comprehensive course designed to work together with each diver to make learning and sidemount diving easy.

Emphasis on this course is placed upon gear familiarity and sidemount diving skills with added techniques for advanced diving environments.

Special Cave Sidemount training is available for cave divers who wish to transition from back mounted doubles to sidemount and for cave divers in sidemount configuration wishing to learn sidemount cave diving (minimum 5o logged cave dives required). Techniques include single and double tanks removal.

Sidemount gear is available for rent; however, it is recommended to have a personal full set. Sidemount is a very personal gear configuration and not out of the box ready to use like a more traditional setup. Cristina will work very closely for a fitted gear configuration.

Duration is three days 8:30 am through 4:30 pm
