I'm interested in the BSAC course for Extended Range Diver.

Does anyone know specially which skills are taught on the BSAC Extended
Range Course that are substantially different to the skills taught on
any of these courses:

IANTD Advanced Nitrox
TDI Normoxic Trimix
TDI Advanced Trimix

Thanks,
Matt.

Thanks. I can see the theory included in this course here - but I
don't see what skills are taught during the diving.

All it says is:
Practical - Dive 1 - 180 minutes
Practical - Dive 2 - 240 minutes
Practical - Dive 3 - 8 hours

Also I do not understand how many minutes in water are needed as part
of this course (not 900?) .

Does anyone know?

Cheers
Matt.

Thanks, Frank. However, I didn't see any BSAC courses there. Did I
look in the wrong place?

Cheers
Matt.

Ben has already posted a link for that, I don't teach BSAC courses so I
don't comment. The others however are on there.
