Equipment requirements (maybe provided with course or rented from Utila Dive Centre)

For Tec Deep courses

• Double cylinders (minimum 12 l/70 cf each, with larger preferred) with isolator manifold, or sidemount stages
• Primary and secondary regulators, one with two metre/seven foot hose (approx.) for gas sharing, and one with SPG
• Stage/decompression cylinders with regulator, SPG, mounting hardware and proper labeling/markings
• Backup decompression cylinders as appropriate and required for the environment
• BCD and harness – redundant buoyancy control is required (double bladder BCD or dry suit if suitable for weight of equipment worn)
• Depth gauge/computer and backup depth gauge/computer
• Timing device and backup timing device
• Decompression information (tables/ computer) and backup decompression information
• Exposure suit appropriate for environment and dive duration
• Weight system (if needed)
• Jon line (if needed for current diving environ-ments)
• Inflatable signal tube
• Reel
• Lift bag (bright yellow or per local community practice preferred)
• Knife/cutting device and backup
• Slate
• Backup mask (optional)
• Compass
• Lights (optional)
• Drift kit (if drift decompressing)

For Trimix courses (maybe provided with course or rented from Utila Dive Centre)

• Double cylinders (minimum 12 l/70 cf each, with larger preferred) with isolator manifold
• Primary and secondary regulators, one with two metre/seven foot hose (approx.) for gas sharing, and one with SPG
• Stage/decompression cylinders with regulator, SPG, mounting hardware and proper labeling/markings
• Backup decompression cylinders as appropriate and required for the environment
• BCD and harness – redundant buoyancy control is required (double bladder BCD or dry suit if suitable for weight of equipment worn)
• Depth gauge/computer and backup depth gauge/computer
• Timing device and backup timing device
• Trimix decompression information (tables/trimix computer) and backup decompression information
• Exposure suit appropriate for environment and dive duration. (If students will use dry suits, they should be trained/experienced with their use in recreational and technical diving prior to using them for trimix training or diving.)
• Argon dry suit inflation or other inflation system as needed (students should not inflate dry suit with trimix)
• Weight system (if needed)
• Jon line (if needed for current diving environments)
• Inflatable signal tube
• Reel
• Lift bag (bright yellow or per local community practice preferred)
