IANTD® Open Water Diver – This Program is designed to provide comprehensive training to those who wish to become SCUBA divers, minimum age being 12 years old. This Program emphasizes the skills and knowledge needed to develop a safer novice diver and to develop a sense of confidence and responsibility in those joining the adventures of underwater discovery. This Program qualifies a diver to dive to a maximum depth of 18 Meters in open water, accompanied by other divers of at least the same level, without the supervision of a Divemaster, Assistant Instructor or Instructor. The purpose of this program is to qualify a diver to participate in diving activities where appropriate Diver Support is always available at the surface, where in-water decompression stops are not required, and under conditions that are equal or better than the conditions where they were trained.
IANTD® EANx Nitrox Diver – This Program is designed to provide Sport Divers with an oxygen-enriched, safer than air, breathing medium for enjoying dives in the 12 Meters to 40 Meters depth ranges. The diver may elect to dive the oxygen-enriched “mix” on EANx tables or dive conservatively using air dive computers or air tables. This Diver qualification may be taught as a single Program or combined with a variety of the IANTD Advanced or Specialty Diver Programs. The Program covers the use of EANx mixes in the range of 21% to a maximum of 40% oxygen. No dives may be conducted to depths greater than the student’s previous qualification, or a maximum of 40 Meters.
IANTD® Advanced Open Water Diver – This mid-level Continuing Education Program is designed to enable IANTD Open Water Divers to extend their proficiency in the water and to gain more supervised practical experience. This Program qualifies the diver to dive to a maximum depth 30 Meters in open water, minimum age being 12 years old.
IANTD® Rescue Diver – This Program is designed to develop proficiency in self-rescue and buddy-rescue. The minimum age is 15 years old. The Diving First Aid, CPR and Oxygen Administrator Programs may be taken concurrently with the Rescue Diver Course.
