Learning about Twinset diving

RECREATIONAL DIVERS ENJOY THE BENEFITS TOO

Diving with two tanks on your back was once part of a sort of right-of-passage for anyone who thought of themself as a budding techdiver.

Double tanks (joined by an isolation manifold) where once the exclusive kit configuration for cave and deep wreck divers. But times change and who doesn’t appreciate the extra safety, extra dive time, more stability, and convenience that a twimset can deliver? And with this specialty program, almost anyone can spice up their diving adventures and learn new, valuable skills from the experts.

Diving with double tanks, also known as twinset diving was originally a convenient way to increase the breathing gas available to divers for longer dives in either a hard or soft overhead (inside a cave or wreck), or when doing staged decompression dives. It was the norm when divers began to push their adventures beyond the limits of traditional recreational diving.

But recreational divers soon realized that the advantages of having backup gas, and plenty of it, was attractive to them also.

So, to meet this need, RAID developed its TwinSet Diver Specialty to teach these divers the best, safest, and most appropriate techniques to venture into this type of diving. The course teaches everything a diver needs to know about how to get the most benefit with the least fuss from twinset diving.

If you’re looking for a course to challenge you, but also to add something exciting to your diving, RAID’s Twinset Specialty is worth taking a close look at.

Advantages of diving with double tanks include:

  1. Increased gas supply for longer dives.
  2. Redundancy in case of equipment failure.
  3. Improved balance and trim in the water.
  4. Enhanced safety margins, especially when diving in remote or challenging conditions.
