The Altitude Diver Course
Any time you are diving 1,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level, you're altitude diving and in West Texas we certainly fit that rule. If you plan on doing any diving west of Austin or Ft Worth the Altitude Diver Specialty course is for you. Any diving in west Texas or New Mexico is at altitude, even Balmorhea.
The Fun Part
Dive more challenging dive sites like the "Blue Hole" in Santa Rosa, NM while you satisfy your curiosity for “I wonder what’s down there?” The fun part about altitude diving is that you can explore places many people have never seen.
What You LearnYou’ll learn the effects of pressure at higher altitudes and how to adjust your dive plan accordingly. Whether you use a recreational dive planner table (RDP), an electronic App or a dive computer, you’ll learn how to plan and make a dive at altitudes. You’ll learn :
- Altitude dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards
- Recreational dive planning procedures for diving at altitude
- Safety stops and emergency decompression procedures at altitude
