What an accomplishment this is, reaching this level of diving is not without hard work and dedication. Bill put in hours of training up in the cold Canadian waters and then proceeded to complete course down in Bonaire. Thanks Bill, that was much warmer!
With several classroom session along with practical and pool time, he also put in several extra training dives, fine tuning skills.

What a great 10 days in Bonaire reaching his goal of 330 feet.

Congratulations to Ashton Kokkas and James Bock on completing the Tec 100 CCR on the Hollis Prism 2!

What an incredible week of diving and these 2 really put in the time and effort on this very difficult course. Building on the Tec 60 level by adding hypoxic gases and increased helium levels, they worked there way down to accomplish a 330 foot dive.
Always great to dive here in beautiful Bonaire.

Thanks to Area9 Mastery Diving Research Center for all your support for this training. Unmatched Tec support.

Thanks to Hens Silva Marin for great Prism 2 support.

Congratulations to Bill Zane on completing the TEC 60 CCR course on the Hollis Prism 2!

Well done Bill you worked extremely hard and put in a lot of hours, honing those skills and knowledge.

This course is about adding some helium to your breathing gas and another bailout bottle for deeper dives to 60m / 200 feet. Challenging students to have a greater understanding of the operation of the rebreather, and the effects of deeper diving in regards to gas density and narcosis while adding mulitple options to staying on loop if issues arise.

If you are looking to advance you're training, I have classes for all levels of CCR coming up this winter, Tec 40, 60 and 100. Running several of each level.
Contact me for further details at the shop or direct.

Thanks to Area9 Mastery Diving Research Center for all the support and logistics. As always top notch Tec operation.
