Never second-guess the rules.
The safe way to make a visual jump when cave diving… Don’t Every open-water diver knows that the first rule of scuba is: don’t hold your breath. Always have plenty of something to breathe, so you don’t have to hold your breath. In essence, the same basic advice, but more detailed. Cavern and cave divers have rules too; most of them are adapted from (and piled on top of) those from all the prerequisite courses. But some are unique to the overhead environment. The first is: Always maintain contact with a continuous line to a known exit. For non-overhead environment divers, here’s a brief explanation of what that means. You may already know that cavern and cave divers

RAID New Tech Pathway #3
NORMOXIC TRIMIX: EQUIPMENT INTENSIVE AND HANDFULS OF RESPONSIBILITY There are dive sites that demand a high level of skill and experience from visitors, and divers at this level have earned those rights. This open circuit technical program teaches the use of a helium-based bottom mix with a minimum oxygen content of 18 percent.that can be breathed from the surface to a maximum target depth of 60 metres using twinset or sidemount primary cylinder configurations. Divers on this course use three optimized decompression gases, including up to 100% oxygen for efficient off-gassing. Staged ascents must be perfectly timed with controlled gas switches and excellent team communications. Contact your local RAID Dive Centre for details. Visit RAID FREe-Learning to read more. Next
RAID New Tech Pathway #4
HYPOXIC TRIMIX TO 80 and 100 METRES… ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM HYPOXIC TRIMIX represents the ultimate challenge and ultimate reward for a RAID OC technical diver. Our fourth-level technical / decompression diver course is equally suitable for twinset or sidemount divers ready to step up to the current limit of RAID’s diver training. Hypoxic divers can carry as many as four stage cylinders with decompression gases, including a travel mix and 100% oxygen. The travel mix is required because managing oxygen toxicity at the target depths calls for backgas to contain less than 18 percent oxygen, which may not be breathed on the surface. Available in two levels: 80 metres | 100 metres. Contact your local RAID Dive
