SSI enters the technical diving market with the official launch of the SSI Technical Extended Range program. It will be abbreviated as “TXR”. The TXR product launch includes four courses which are: Technical Foundations, Decompression Procedures, Normoxic Trimix, and Advanced Decompression. Let’s Go Xtreme!

Xtreme Excitement
SSI’s TechXR programs were created to take the recreational diver to an extreme level for their diving adventures. Whether you want to look for the excitement of deep reef diving or the thrill of exploring wrecks located well past 40m (130 feet), taking the SSI TechXR Program is a way to gain the training and experience necessary to complete every new adventure with confidence and skill.
Whatever your current diving ability is, extended range diving will challenge you with environments, depths, bottom times, procedures, and equipment not commonly encountered by recreational divers. You will be experiencing advanced levels that require extensive knowledge, enhanced diving skills, and considerable experience.

Xtreme Fun & Flexibility
The academics for the four courses, will be presented in one manual with four sections. There will be an accompanying interactive CD and a series of dive planning slates. The TXR program has been designed to provide both students and instructors with an unprecedented level of flexibility. The four courses are building blocks which can be taught individually, and sequentially, or combined to meet specific training objectives. The SSI TechXR program is designed to meet the needs of divers and dive leaders. The instructor can formulate training around each customer’s individual goals and objectives as students who just want to learn more about right decompression procedures can stop after the second course. Others who would like to go through the entire way to become a TEK DIVER also have the option to do so. The program has also been designed to seamlessly integrate with the traditional SSI recreational products.

Xtreme Training
The SSI TechXR program was designed and tested under the most demanding conditions. All of the complex information has been broken down and made simple to teach and understand. The training material for both the student and instructors was developed by industry professionals with years of technical experience. SSI’s signature training method’s the SSI Diver Diamond and Comfort Through Repetition have been applied to keep the programs consistent and provide the same high quality education as other SSI products.
