Twinset Foundations

Price: €300

WHY TWO TANKS ?

Diving with two cylinders used to be the sign of a hard-core technical diver, but that’s old-school from the days when nitrox was considered “technical.” And of course today, some students opt to add nitrox diver to their open water training.
 
Twinset Foundations (diving with doubles) is a totally new program in the RAID catalogue. It is RAID‘s answer to delivering formalized training for divers who want to learn the safe and responsible way to use this classic kit configuration, and more complex gas management practices. In effect, Twinset Foundations opens up diving with redundant gas to the whole diving community.

What to Expect?

This specialty must be run by a RAID Twinset instructor who must be physically present and in direct supervision for every segment of the class and who must use matching equipment throughout the duration of the course. There may also be a certified assistant present (a divemaster at least) with certification as a RAID Twinset Foundations diver).
 
A typical Twinset Foundations course consists of academic modules, quizzes and a final exam, followed by confined water training of a minimum of one hour underwater, plus two open water dives totally a minimum of three hours.
 
When Twinset Foundations is combined with another approved RAID diver program, must be cumulative and ALL skills for both programs must be demonstrated and mastered. When combined with another course, open water time for THIS program may be reduced to two hours if circumstances and student progress allow.
 

NOTE: For dives below 30 metres, RAID recommends diving with a redundant source of breathing gas. Diving twins (manifolded doubles, a backplate and wing) meets this recommendation. Also note that this is not a decompression or overhead program, and all dives must be conducted within the limits of the student’s core level certifications.
