As you continue your technical diver training, one of the courses you’ll want to take is Decompression Techniques, in which you will gain a working knowledge of the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. Your training will include a minimum of six dives including planning and executing a standard stage decompression dive less than 130 fsw / 40 msw.
Your instructor will also teach you equipment requirements including team requirements and NAUI Technical Equipment Configuration (NTEC), and decompression breathing gas mixtures (including oxygen, Helitrox, and EANx). You’ll learn the practical skills and knowledge you need for decompression diving within course parameters.
If you are 18 years of age, posses at least NAUI Master Scuba Diver, Deep Diver Specialty, Technical EANx Diver and Helitrox Diver certifications (or their equivalents), and have 75 logged dives, you may enroll in the Decompression Techniques course. With additional dives and training, your instructor may opt to combine this course with Technical EANx (Nitrox) Diver or Helitrox Diver.

Technical NITROX
The NAUI Technical EANx Diver course teaches divers how to choose appropriate gas mixes (EANx28-100% O2) to plan no decompression dives up 130 feet (40 meters). The benefits, hazards and proper procedures for utilizing EANx28-100% oxygen are considered.
This course is commonly taught in conjunction with the NAUI Decompression Techniques Divercourse, forming the basis for those that wish to pursue a technical diving career.
Alternatively, the NAUI Technical EANx Diver Course is also a great course for those wanting to extend their bottom times for shallower depths.
The benefits of nitrox are well known to divers, who have been utilizing it for many years. The NAUI Technical EANx Diver Course teaches divers how to extend their knowledge of nitroxand move it to the next level. Up to this point in your diving career, you will have used just one breathing gas from start to finish on your dives, now you will learn how to take advantage of an alternate nitrox mix during your ascent.

During your training, you’ll complete at least four open water dives using a Helitrox mixture (26% oxygen / 17% helium) of which at least one will be a repetitive dive. Your NAUI Technical Instructor may combine your Helitrox course with the Decompression Techniques Diver Course, with additional training and certification dives.
Your studies will include the knowledge necessary to plan and safely execute Helitrox dives including gas needs and requirements, oxygen toxicity limitations, nitrogen narcosis limitations, and emergency planning, including omitted decompression, oxygen toxicity, decompression sickness, and equipment failure.
