Today immersion technique is associated with depths that often are over 100mt. But how do you get to these depths? What steps do you do to address these important shares?
Only the experience made by each individual diver who, just patented, is increasingly anxious to know depths or to have fun or to prove to himself and to others "how many rounds the hand of his depth gauge did”, this can lead to this aim. Line Tek –Line wants to fill the blank that brings a sports-diver to make diving techniques once they exceed the recreational limits.
Taking advantage of the wonders of our bottoms, from paramuricea clavata up to a good deal of wrecks that lie on the seabed --36mt down, we, by Tek Line, want to evolve the advanced diver to the technical diver, accompanying him in a smooth and customized scuba purely technical. Therefore, all diving under the recreational quota must be addressed with planning, patience, technical precisely and especially security, accompanied by the practice over time and continuous knowledge of ourselves and our reactions in depth. These allowing us to take full advantage of beauty of the sea facing various difficulty levels dives and even the most demanding with the same serenity and the same fulfilment of a dive to 18mt down. So the technical immersion Tek Line was born.
Nitrox
This mixture is the most commonly used for diving Amateur, after the compressed air, given the relative ease of use and the percentage of oxygen most common are those up to 40%. Using this preparation helps in reducing the danger due to decompression sickness, in fact it reduces the inert gas supply equipment for participating exchanges and alveolar not dissolve in tissues as a result of pressure, if you use the traditional tables estimate the curve security, or allows greater permanence cornering, without changing the parameters of risk. However, you don’t underestimate the dangers due to the toxicity of oxygen under certain partial pressures.
Course of knowledge and the first use of Nitrox mixes (EANx up to 40% O2), made fruit in the curve not decompression and within the 40 m.
The Nitrox PTA Course, although obviously is the less challenging classes PTA, is still a program of a Real Technical Education, then it suffers from this approach: the subject is not forgotten anything, in fact there are many notions given to thinking later. It is a full-bodied Course, which is the theoretical basis for the next Technical Courses.
P.T.A. EDUCATIONAL CHOICES, STRATEGIC AND TACTICAL
PTA, Pure Tech Agency, is an Association of Underwater Education Nitrox and Real Technical, which has a long construction know-how came in the USA in 1992-93 (in moments of true Underwater Technology) and the experience gained in 1993 forward.
In this remarkable space-time the structure, that is then in 2000 became PTA, led forward an effective educational system at the same time classic (Diving Real Technical) and very personal, focusing on different choices than usual.
The approach is highly evolutionary under both the technological aspects (hardware) and human (software).
To obtain this objective really, P.T.A. considers that it is not simply possible to affix some changes (Recreational), but instead is essential to create a new platform. In other words, it need to separate Technical from Amusing.
We know that this is a concept not generally shared (and we sense grounds for those who also have Amusing-diving in its bid). However, it is our strategy.
We also know that the separation from Recreational must be very gradual and well together. With wisdom and patience. Progressive acceptable, certainly not impact.
So the approach P.T.A. of the first courses (Nitrox, Tek-In, Decompression) is likely to build the main foundations maintaining low depth and operational applications. Only later, when on established foundations, the courses become more demanding and performance (from the "Technical" stadium below).
Finally P.T.A. approach moves to a new educational platform, very different from the one used in Amusing-diving. But the aim is seized with a "soft" passage, possible for anyone
Deepening course of Nitrox mixtures used in a variable form (Best Mix) beyond the not decompression curve within 45 m.
A particular attention to Decompression features the course; it is a specific learning stage of this program.
Optimization of decompression by a reduction times due to mixtures strongly hyper-oxigenated and / or pure oxygen.
Using a decompression software.
TAKE-IN
It’s expressly designed to give an adequate preparation to deal smoothly, with the appropriate technical knowledge real courses..
The patent TEK-IN enables to dive up to 47 meters in depth using nitrox for decompressions (if you already have a Decompression certification).
Prerequisite to access after TECHNICAL AIR course
The first Underwater Real Technology PTA courses, "Air Technical Deep" and "Trimix 60", have suffered in recent years a significant increase in demand, but accompanied by strong slowdown in the running with their need for using multiple levels repetitions and forced extra-Course integrations. Ultimately, there was a general scenario of complication, completely out of the physiological. Why? Until a few years ago many divers with a good or excellent experience went to P.T.A. But now, P.T.A. Technical Deep Air and Trimix 60 courses also attract increasingly sub newly patented, coming directly from recreational and almost devoid of experience. For this reason they have trouble to frequent them with maximum profit rather they face serious problems and often stop themselves. Here is the necessity and importance of Tek-In, especially as the technical courses PTA In recent years there has been even more bodied and demanding, both in practice and in theory. The evolutionary leap that is required to move from the Technical Real Amusing therefore appears oversized in the preparation and experience that has recreational diving. Not wanting to move down the Technological Courses, which remain firm and steadfast in its place higher in pure PTA but he had to take serious note of the problem and acted in the "dead space" to enable and facilitate the transition. P.T.A. therefore made a specific course between Amusing and Technology, an introduction to Scuba Diving Technique. This is precisely Tek-In. It offers a wide and solid theoretical and practical preparation allowing to present himself at the Diving Technical more serious and ambitious without gaps to be filled. If the gaps are not very substantial, Tek-In allows a short passage, it is a flexible course that fits best with actual needs. The Tek-In not only fills what is necessary, but already it chooses the most appropriate approach to what comes after it , it decides to give more, to go beyond the "Basic" and offers Credits Training to next courses. Tek-in also sets the approach, the philosophy, the attitude most appropriate to the future Tech step. The recreational diver, having attended the Tek-In, will not be more frightened from later requests: indeed it knows well what expects it and will easily integrate in the system. The Tek-in will permit to the next classes instructor to devote himself exclusively to the specific contents of them, operating a teaching less dispersive, more directional and profitably.
