The Club is planning an Accelerated Decompression Procedure course.
BSAC’s Accelerated Decompression Procedures (ADP) course is a great way to extend your nitrox diving skills, by learning to use oxygen-rich mixes to improve the efficiency of decompression. It encourages you to make informed choices about your diving.
In the course you will be taught the procedure to change gasses underwater using a stage bottle, using Nitrox mixes up to 80%, deployment of Delayed Surface Marker Buoy from mid water.
You will develop your knowledge of accelerated decompression diving, including:
- Diving physics and physiology
- Kit configuration to achieve redundancy and self-reliance
- Using the BSAC Ox-stop tables
- Practical stage-cylinder diving techniques, including regulator switching, and run-time management
- Dive profile planning for more adventurous diving, including gas selection and run-time schedules
The Accelerated Decompression Procedures course includes four theory sessions, a dry practical session, and a dive-planning session. It also includes a sheltered-water lesson, and two open-water dives with a total duration of no less than 60 minutes (to a maximum depth of 35m or within your qualification), to ensure that you have plenty of in-water time to practise the skills and discipline needed for accelerated decompression diving.
This is a continually assessed course during which students must reach the required performance standards.
If you are interested in joining the course please get back to us for more details.
