Extend Range Programs:
Extend Range programs are designed for divers whose ambition is to push their limits. For those who want to dive longer, go deeper or explore further. For those for whom diving is an art or a way of life. Extendent Range is not just about hardware configuration, it’s about knowledge and membership in an elite group.
This program brings the diver to a higher level of knowledge, procedures and diving skills in the Extend Range equipment configuration. The program includes the principles of technical configuration of equipment, use of multi-bottle kits, S-drill, V-drill, Gas Shering procedures and techniques for moving with fins (Fins Technics).
Duration: a minimum of 2 days - 4 dives in restricted waters with a minimum total time of 240min.
Duration: a minimum of 2 days - 4 dives in restricted waters with a minimum total time of 240min.
This program provides the knowledge to independently plan and execute a dive to a depth of 40m using an Extend Range equipment configuration using a decompression cylinder with nitrox to a maximum oxygen fraction of 50% and a total decompression time of up to 15min.
Duration: 3 days - 1 dive in restricted waters; 4 in open waters.
Duration: 3 days - 1 dive in restricted waters; 4 in open waters.
This program provides the knowledge and skills to independently plan and conduct dives in a confined space environment with limited penetration within daylight limits to a maximum depth of 40m using cave equipment and procedures with a partner of equal or higher certification.

Duration: 3 days - 1 shore activity, 1 dive in a restricted area and 4 dives to a wreck.
This program provides the knowledge and skills to independently plan and carry out Extend Range dives using Sidemount configurations for two bottom gas cylinders and decompression cylinders within the limits of earned credentials.
Duration: 3 days - 1 dive in a restricted area, 4 dives in open water.
Duration: 3 days - 1 dive in a restricted area, 4 dives in open water.
This program provides the knowledge AND skills to independently plan and conduct dives to a maximum depth of 45m, using decompression gases up to an oxygen fraction of 100% with a total decompression time of 25min.
Duration: 4 days - 1 dive in restricted waters, 6 dives in open waters. Upgrading to XR Trimix requires completion of XR Timix theoretical training in the course materials, and dives 5 and 6 must be conducted with a Trimix breathing mixture.
