Extended Range Foundations

Product details

The XR Foundations course is workshop-based and focuses firmly on improving practical skills, such as the proper configuration of diving equipment, operation of the two-buttons set (twinset) and the entire technical configuration on the surface and underwater, improving buoyancy and trim, simulating emergency situations, shooting a decompression buoy or diving in the depths.

The training includes:
– theory related to the Extended Range Total Diving System, an in-depth discussion of the Hogarthian configuration and DIR philosophy,
– workshops on independent equipment configuration,
– four dives during which almost all exercises are performed in the depths.
– Swimming skills test combined with surface rescue workshop in XR equipment configuration.

Participants operate in dry suits (if they are certified or take the course) and use exactly the equipment used for decompression dives and confined spaces. The course does not increase the authority of the maximum dive depth, but significantly improves the knowledge, comfort and safety of divers who have not had previous training in such an equipment configuration.
Certryfkat XR Foundations is a proof of the ability to dive in a two-bottle set and technical configuration.

The price includes:
– Deepspot entries
– SSI instructor’s care and training
– rental of a two-bottle set and all necessary equipment according to. XR course standards
– course completion certificate

Price does not include travel, possible accommodation, food.

*The XR Foundations course can be combined with the Dry Suit course in such a way that you first make one training dive with an instructor and have a theoretical session, and the completion of the course will already take place during the XR Foundations, i.e. the diver will make 5 dives in a dry suit instead of the standard three.

Who will find this training useful and why

– Recreational divers who want to dive better. Many times exercises are performed on the course that there is not enough time for during standard recreational training.
– Divers wishing to start their technical diving adventure
– they will get a solid foundation on which to build further experience in their chosen directions
– Divers trained in warm waters wishing to start their diving adventure in Poland – a soft transition in the form of cold-water equipment in controlled, deepspot conditions
