Optimized Staged Decompression Diving
The RAID Deco 60 Course is a comprehensive program for experienced divers ready to advance their technical skills to depths of 60 meters (200 feet). Building on the foundation of the Deco 50 certification, this course introduces optimized staged decompression techniques, allowing divers to utilize two decompression gases for greater efficiency and safety during extended dives.
Designed for twinset or sidemount configurations, the Deco 60 Course employs the latest technologies, protocols, and knowledge to ensure divers are fully prepared for the complexities of deep technical diving.
Purpose of the Deco 60 Course
The RAID Deco 60 Course equips divers to:
- Safely conduct dives to a maximum depth of 60 meters/200 feet.
- Use air, nitrox, trimix, and custom-blended gases, including 100% oxygen, for planned depths and optimized decompression schedules.
- Operate within gas planning protocols without time limitations, ensuring flexibility and safety.
- Manage dives with a maximum END/EAD of 30 meters/100 feet, adhering to a PO2 limit of:
- 1.4 for bottom mixes.
- 1.6 for decompression mixes.
- Perform optimized decompression dives using up to two decompression gases.
