I want to start Technical Diving!

The Extended Range Foundations Diving course really is the gateway to technical diving. It is designed to allow you to enter the exciting world of technical diving without having to make a dramatic change in your recreational diving philosophy. We also add the Sidemount course to the XR Foundations, currently basic for technical diving, cavern and cave configurations.

Who can take this course?

The Extended Range Foundations Diving courses are perfect for those divers with at least Advanced or equivalent who want to continue advancing in their training as a technical diver.
The requirements to access this course are:
– Have a minimum an Open Water certification
– Have a Nitrox certification
– Have a minimum of 24 logged dives
– Be at least 18 years old
– Fill out a Medical Form and/or bring a medical certificate of fitness to dive
– Diving accident insurance in force (if you do not have one you can buy one directly in Xaloc, cost: €40 for annual insurance or daily insurance at €6/day)

Our philosophy is to create students who are competent, safe and capable of diving independently alongside another diver with the same, or higher, certification.

In general, we achieve the teaching objectives in the minimum number of days set, but you must understand that achieving the minimum level that we require requires a lot of effort, both on the part of the student and your Instructor and that is why we charge this type of courses per teaching day.
We should also point out that we will certify you once your Instructor believes that you have met the minimum standards required by both SSI and Xaloc and that you would be able to dive safely without a guide. We will not certify you if we consider that you have not sufficiently completed the program for which you are registering.
Therefore, the approximate number of days marked in our price list is the minimum assuming that you follow the course by doing everything perfectly the first time. If you do not progress perfectly, you will have to add more days of training until you achieve it.
The price is €150/day.
Includes: bottles + nitrox + teaching material
Not included: diving equipment in configuration for technical diving… Read More
