Go Beyond the Limits

Experience Recreational Decompression Diving.

Many divers eventually reach a point where they want to stay a little longer, explore a little deeper, and push beyond the normal no-decompression limits—without committing to the full demands of technical diving.

The Decompression Diving Program at Central Coast Divers is designed specifically for recreational divers who want to safely extend their dive profiles using the equipment they already know and trust.

This course provides the knowledge, skills and experience required to conduct limited decompression dives, using your personal dive computer, a recreational Total Diving System, and a single-stage cylinder.

During the program you will learn how to plan and safely conduct decompression dives:

• To a maximum depth of 40 metres
• Using an optimised Nitrox mix up to 40% oxygen
• With a maximum accumulated decompression time of 15 minutes based on a back-gas profile
• Diving with an equally or more qualified dive buddy
• Using either a recreational or sidemount Total Diving System

You will also develop advanced skills in gas management, dive planning, situational awareness, and decompression discipline, allowing you to extend your dives safely and responsibly.

This program is the perfect bridge between recreational diving and technical-style dive planning, giving you access to deeper wrecks, walls, and extended exploration opportunities.

Unlock the Next Level of Diving.

There is something undeniably exciting and mysterious about exploring deeper dive sites. Perhaps it’s a shipwreck resting below 18 metres, a dramatic deep wall covered in giant sea fans, or a massive barrel sponge emerging from the blue that draws you down.

In clear tropical waters, depth can be deceiving. Before you realise it, you may already be deeper than planned. That’s why every serious diver should learn the skills, planning techniques, and safety procedures required for deeper diving.

The Deep Diver Specialty Course at Central Coast Divers trains you to safely and confidently explore depths down to 40 metres under the guidance of experienced instructors.

During this course you will learn:

• Safe deep dive planning and procedures
• Gas management and dive profile control
• Recognising and managing nitrogen narcosis
• Using specialised deep diving equipment
• Proper ascent techniques and safety stops

Deep diving opens the door to some of the ocean’s most spectacular dive sites — incredible wrecks, dramatic walls, and marine life rarely seen in shallower waters.

If you want to explore further, see more, and become a more capable diver, this course is essential.

Take the plunge and enrol in the Deep Diver Specialty Course with Central Coast Divers today —

Because the most extraordinary dives often lie a little deeper.

The Mares EOS 10LRW underwater torch is an anodised aluminium rechargeable torch with 1000 lumens of power and 90 minutes of autonomy.

The LED ensures constant light throughout its life and a wide adjustable beam (120 degrees). The intensity can be adjusted via the handy mechanical multifunction switch, with battery charge indicator, which is very useful to keep battery charge under control, even during a dive.

Intuitive and safe, it prevents any water infiltration inside the torch. With a simple touch, you can set four different torch functions: full power, approximately 40% power, flashing and off. The new, electronic, double-push safety device prevents accidental switching on.

The battery can be recharged via a USB cable connected to a PC or any 5 Volt adapter. The battery charger with LED charge indicator makes it easy to see the actual charge.

The tubular handle allows the torch to be used with one hand.
The innovative temperature control system allows the torch to be used out of the water.

The Mares EOS 10LRW underwater torch comes with a padded case with a zip, made of highly resistant material for better protection.
