ANDI Level Two
Cavern Diver Course (Open Circuit or CCR)
A course designed with a max depth of 30m/100fsw and NSR (no stop required dives). This course allows you to dive into a cavern zone carrying only a single tank and RBS. You will be allowed to penetrate no further then the daylight zone. Skills taught are based around your safety such as out of air drills, and proper line laying procedures. This course is taught over a minimum of a two day period.
Price: 25,000 thb
ANDI Level Three
Intro to Cave course (Open Circuit or CCR)
IF you thought going into that cavern was exciting, how about being able to do full penetration. Double tanks, line laying, decompression diving, where does all this training end? Learn the proper procedures for lost buddy situations, if you get lost off the main line and how to get out of a entanglement situation. You are almost there.
Intro to Cave – Level 3 Limitations: May use all Nitrox and Oxygen mixtures to 40 m/130 fsw during decompression profiles limited to a max of 30 minutes deco-time per dive using 3 cylinders and 3 gases within a cave environment. Penetration is limited to the rule of thirds.
Price: 25,000 thb
ANDI Level Four
During the full cave course you will be using full technical equipment. While on the dive you will learn how to deal with smaller restrictions and also how to do Jumps and gaps. This course will take you to the ultimate level. There is no need to take a special Stage diving
course, since during level 4 full cave diver training the student will be trained on staging tanks also. On two of the dives the student will stage one tank and on two other dives students will be staging two tanks for additional penetration.”
Full Cave L4 Limitations: May use SafeAir and Oxygen mixtures without limits on the deco, run times, penetration, number of cylinders or equipment configurations. There is a maximum depth of 40 m/ 130 fsw or 3.6 ata PN2 within a cave environment. ANDI does recommend the use of a 3.2 PN2 for dives in cold water or limited visibility at the discretion of the Instructor.
Price: 50,000 thb
ANDI Level Five
Tri-mix Cave Explorer Course (Open Circuit or CCR)
This course is intended to run in line with the level 4 course and is depth progression using hypoxic trimix gas
course costs, not including gas or sorb 6 dives.
Taking things to the extreme. Learn to how to dive deep caves safely utilizing the Optimum mixes of oxygen and helium. Dives will be done in the 40-60m/130-200fsw inside of the cave. The last thing you want to be is narked in a over head area. We will show you how to get rid of the narcosis problems and also the oxygen problems. A clear head is definitely needed in a cave. Topics such as how to set up a habitat, breathing 02 while in a habitat, staging multiple tanks in the cave.
Tri-mix Cave Explorer L5 Limitations: May use SafeAir, Helium and Oxygen mixtures without limitations within a cave environment. Attainable depths are relative to experience levels and the quality of available technical support.
Note: All Cave courses can be taught on Open Circuit (sidemount / backmount) or Rebreather. The student has to be qualified with the appropriate configuration/unit at the equivalent level.
Price: 50,000 thb when combined with level 4 costs
