Certifying as a RAID Deco 60 Diver certifys you to use Normoxic Trimix with an oxygen content of no less than 18%, while helium usage is based on a 30 meter/100 foot EAD/END. Those certified at the RAID Deco 60 level are permitted to use up to 100% oxygen for optimized decompression schedules, allowing for greater flexibility and customization during dives. With these skills and tools at their disposal, divers can confidently explore deeper depths and enhance their overall diving experience.
Completion of the program is possible with either back mount twin-set cylinders or sidemount configuration, provided the diver is qualified as a sidemount diver. This program builds upon the knowledge and skills acquired in the DECO 50 program and incorporates the latest techniques, protocols, and technical information available. The program manuals feature engaging and challenging graphics, ensuring an exciting and informative learning experience for divers seeking to expand their diving capabilities.
Gozo is an ideal location for 60m Trimix dives as the waters offer excellent conditions for Trimix diving, with visibility reaching up to 40 meters/131 feet and water temperatures remaining relatively warm throughout the year.
Gozo’s strategic location in the Mediterranean provides divers with easy access to some of the most exciting and diverse dive sites in the region, including wrecks, caves, and stunning underwater landscapes.
Malta is an exceptional destination for divers seeking to enhance their diving skills and experience. One of the most exciting diving courses offered in Malta is the extended decompression dives program, which provides divers with the skills and knowledge required to conduct deep dives up to 60 meters, while ensuring safety and teamwork.
During this program, participants will be trained on how to conduct extended decompression dives safely, both individually and as part of a team. Divers will learn how to use multiple stage cylinders and conduct 60 minutes of accelerated decompression, all while maintaining the highest level of safety and precision.
One of the key aspects of this course is its emphasis on problem-solving, enabling divers to respond to unexpected situations that may arise during their dives in a calm and effective manner. This training will instill confidence in divers, allowing them to handle challenging situations and dive in a realistic yet safe manner.
In addition to the exceptional training offered during the course, Malta’s crystal clear waters provide divers with breathtaking views of underwater landscapes, diverse marine life, and intriguing shipwrecks. The island’s diving centers, staffed by experienced and knowledgeable instructors, offer world-class facilities and equipment to ensure an unforgettable diving experience.

On a recent holiday we visited Gozo and my friends car who keeps his car in malta to use on holiday/ diving trips broke down with a broken clutch cable . I suggested we go to see Mark at St Andews dive shop to see if he could recommend a good mechanic . Well to cut a long story short Mark the governor was so helpful he arranged his mechanic to fix the problem and the car was fixed within four hours . We were delighted as we were only on gozo for one day and were due to fly out a few days later so thankyou Mark and his mechanics !! On my many visits to Gozo the St andrews dive shop is always busy and customer friendly . If your planning a diving trip give that diving shop a goVerifiedEvercurios2023-09-07Great days diving We had the best refresher day with st Andrew’s dive centre.We hadn’t dived for 15 years or more and we eeee a little apprehensive but that evaporated very quickly. We were set up so just the two of us went out with our dive master Erika in xlendi bay.She really helped us to feel comfortable and in control and we had full faith in her. She obviously new the bay well and gave us a beautiful experience pointing out various fish and squid then ultimately taking us through the ledge. She went above and beyond by taking many great photos of us diving and the things we saw which she sent to us as a memento.Mark in the office was reliable and well organised and all the team were super friendly.Really recommendVerifiedDamian M2023-09-03Dive & tour with Gozo’s most experienced and best! My wife and I booked a private boat tour and scuba dive with Mark Busuttil, the owner of St Andrew’s Divers Cove, Xlendi, on the island of Gozo, Malta. What a fantastic day we had. Nothing was too hard for Mark. He is an excellent boat skipper, amazing tour guide and superb dive master.Mark took us to the best sites around Gozo and Comino, steered me through an amazing cave dive, and showed us why these islands are so popular with tourists from all over the world.Thank you Mark! We loved our day with you.Regards,Damian and Michelle.Verifiedslmonline2023-08-06Fantastic two weeks of guided dives While staying on Gozo at the Kempinski, two weeks with my wife, I did 5 days of diving, two dives each time. St Andrews Divers was a very good school and guide centre, they took us all over the island to a variety of dive sites and we're good guides. Equipment hire was good, modern and no issues. Happy to recommend them.
