Founded in 1985 by Dick Rutkowsky (member of NOAA) as IAND (International Association of Nitrox Divers), and joined in 1993 by Tom Mount to become IANTD (International Association of Nitrox & Technical Divers). IANTD was the first agency to certify recreational divers as Nitrox qualified. Since those days IANTD has been in constant evolution and today can issue certification on virtually any diving system.

IANTD believes individual diver responsibilities are developed through rigorous skill refinement and experience in the water. Vigorous instruction with a strong student / Instructor relationship, enhancing a transfer of the diving responsibility to the student, is the essence of our teaching philosophy.

IANTD training philosophy believes it is better to be cautious and demanding in training than to have even one accident. IANTD is dedicated to producing knowledgeable and skillful divers. Both are key for developing competent, confident and relaxed divers, who can fully enjoy the exhilarating experiences of sport and technical diving.

"Knowledge, Understanding, Skills and Stress Management"

This Program is designed to provide responsible training to divers who plan to dive to a maximum of 130 fsw (39 msw) on air. The IANTD Deep Diver Program trains divers in skills, performance, theory and planning of deep dives. This Program remains within the commonly practiced depth of 130 fsw (39 msw), and is the first sanctioned international Program to provide proper training in safe deep diving skills and performance. It is recommended that this Program be taught in conjunction with the IANTD EANx Diver Program or the Recreational Trimix Diver Program or the IANTD Advanced EANx Diver Program. This program qualifies divers to dive to 130 fsw (30 msw).

This program is designed to extend the divers knowledge with O2 mixes of 22% to 40% and up to 50% for decompression. It further develops diving skills and provides a greater understanding of the Nitrox diving concept.

	4 Days		4-6 Dives
	Open water dives - 4 to 6 dives with 2 between 100 fsw (30 msw) and 130 fsw (39 msw)
	Students are taught the use of EANx mixtures from 21% to a maximum of 40% for diving, staying. EANx mixtures in the range of 41% to a maximum of 50% are used to teach the fundamentals of safety and decompression stops

This Program is designed to extend the diver’s knowledge in the use of EANx for Sport diving. It further develops diving skills and provides a greater understanding of the EANx concept of diving. It is also intended to supplement the skills of recreational trimix divers. The Program employs EANx mixes from 21% to a maximum of 50% oxygen. For divers qualified as recreational Trimix Divers mixtures of a minimum of 28 % oxygen combined with a Helium content that maintains an END no greater than 80 fsw (24msw) may be used. This program qualifies divers to perform Trimix Dives outside of training up to 130 fsw (30 msw) and perform decompression stops required dives up to 10 minutes, with required stops no deeper than 20 fsw (6 msw) using EAN 50 as a decompression gas. If Recreational Trimix is used a safety stop at 30 fsw (9 msw) is required.

	3 Days		4 Dives
	Students are taught the use of Recreational trimix mixtures from 28% to a maximum of 40% oxygen and with a helium content with an END no greater than 80 fsw (24 msw) for diving

This Program is designed to train competent divers in the safer use and technology of CCR diving.

	4 Days		8 Dives
	Physics and physiology linked to CCR technology
	Eight dives on a specific model, two dives must be to or deeper than 50 fsw and one dive must be to or deeper than 90 fsw (27 msw)

This program is designed to train divers to carry out dives to depths between 100 feet (30 meters) and 170 fsw ± 10 fsw (50 msw ± 3 msw) using custom blend mixes and to provide greater understanding of custom blend mixes, a complete knowledge of the limits of any EANx mixture, and the use of EANx and oxygen for decompression. This program develops a working relationship of gas blending, tracking oxygen uptake at all levels of the dive (bottom time, ascent time including decompression stops), how to plan OTU / CNS values to allow for maximum dive safety, equipment cleanliness levels and maintenance, and field operational procedures. IANTD Technical EANx Diver or Intermediate Trimix Diver certification is a prerequisite for the IANTD Trimix Diver program.

	5 Days		4-6 Dives
	Confined Water 120 minutes of bottom time to be completed prior to Open Water Dives
	Open Water - 4-6 dives to depths between 131 fsw (40 msw) and 170 fsw (50 msw)
	More Info	800.00 USD	Online Booking

This Program is designed to train those who wish to dive to depths between 130 fsw (39 msw) and 200 fsw (60 msw), but who do not wish to breathe air below 130 fsw (39 msw). Trimix affords a means of reducing narcosis on dives to such depths. This program qualifies divers to perform Trimix Dives outside of training up to 200 fsw (60 msw).

	3 Days		3 Dives
	All academic portions of the IANTD Technical Diver Student Workbook and appropriate specific Rebreather materials and reference text material from the IANTD Technical Encyclopedia
	This Program must also include a minimum of three dives in OW on Trimix using one gas switch. Dive computers with gas switching capability are recommended. Dives may be made on custom software generated tables provided it is a Program approved by IANTD

The IANTD Trimix Diver program is dedicated to those individuals already involved in deep diving activities. The Trimix course is not designed to be used as an enticement to divers who are content to remain in normal recreational or Nitrox diving limits. Trimix affords a safer method for deep water exploration for divers who must dive deep or perform with a clear head in intermediate depths. The IANTD Trimix program establishes the need to be self-sufficient.

	5 Days		4-6 Dives
	Confined Water - A minmum of 120 minutes of confined water or swiming pool. All skills must be validated before going in open water
	Open Water - 4 to 6 dives and a total of 240min at depth are required. The Trimix dives may be at any depth 160 fsw (48 msw) to 225 fsw (75 msw). Two dives must be made on hypoxic (at surface) mixtures using a travel gas. One of these three dives must be to depths between 200 fsw (60 msw) and 225 fsw (75 msw)
