MEET YOUR COURSE DIRECTOR: Marcel van den Berg Platinum PADI Course Director / EFR Instructor Trainer #492721 "Let me introduce myself; my name is Marcel van den Berg. I’m originally from the Netherlands and have now been living in Thailand for almost a decade. In 2003, I decided to take a diving course to experience the hype that everyone was talking about. It only took me 20 minutes on my first Open Water dive to realize that you can have a fantastic career in this amazing underwater realm. From that moment on, I actively pursued my career in diving. I hold a tremendous passion towards diving which I have been able to share with others during my teaching and turning thousands of students into divers. It didn’t take long to decide to advance in my career and I continued my education towards Course Director and Specialty Instructor Trainer. Within the first year I achieved Platinum Status from PADI and kept that until this day. Now I’m able to teach the success I had to new Instructors and I look forward to share my passion and success in Diving with you! Come and join us for your professional diving training at Sairee Cottage Diving and let me teach you an award winning program that far exceeds the minimum standards of the dive industry” Marcel van den Berg 2 Teaching Experience: Taught over 4500 students on all PADI levels Certifications: PADI Platinum Course Director #492721 Emergency

DURATION Two days: Day 1 - Classroom studies, Day 2 - Two Open Water Dives ENTRY GRADE • BSAC Sports Diver or similar (see BSAC SALT table) + 20 additional dives • BSAC Nitrox Diver (or equivalent) • Current evidence of Fitness to Dive APPROVAL • Course approval procedures apply. A BSAC Advanced Nitrox Diver student notes pack must be supplied to each student. INSTRUCTORS This course must be led and staffed by approved BSAC Nitrox Instructors. A register of approved BSAC Nitrox Instructors is maintained by the Chief Examiner at BSAC HQ. Ratio - One Instructor for every eight students in the classroom: One Instructor to maximum of four students in water. However, the ratio is dependant on visibility and may have to be reduced. Instructors must be able to see all students at the same time and this may demand a one-to-one ratio. FACILITIES • A suitable classroom for theory lessons, with enough space to spread Nitrox cylinders for practical analysing lessons.

  • Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) CNG Model
    Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) CNG model Slide from Hexagon-Lincoln Community Gas • Areas that do not have access to pipeline natural gas may seek to have natural gas delivered to the town. • Several community gas projects currently being developed in North America. Ontario Energy Board has case underway to review expanding access to natural gas, including trucking solutions. • Will likely require additional approvals from utility regulators to ensure utility level reliability. • CNG is an option depending on the location of pipelines to offer natural gas to these communities. • Typically, a local distribution company will provide a network of natural gas piping within the town. • The town will be served by a single decompression plant. The gas developer will have to review available redundancy options and determine which is most suitable. Information presented at HHP Canada, Feb 2014 Planned & unplanned outages • G-series units were designed to mount to a trailer using ISO connections. • Once the unit is brought to a site, gas flow can begin within 30-minutes of arrival. • Unit weight with trailer can be pulled by heavy duty pickup. • Variable outlet pressures can be achieved with a pilot on 1st stage regulator. • Over-pressure protection achieved with worker-monitor configured regulators. CNG Compression CNG OTR Off‐load Pipeline Customer Compression Transport station New England, New York, and Pennsylvania have 10- compression plants designed to load CNG trailers. These facilities take pipeline natural gas, dry the gas, and pressurize it to 3600-PSIG. Compression rates of up to 10,000 SCFM are achieved at some of these plants.

Helitrox Diver 10.1 Introduction The Helitrox course examines the theory, methods and procedures for planned stage decompression diving utilizing Helium in the breathing mixture. This program is designed as a stand-alone course or it may be taught in conjunction with TDI Advanced Nitrox at the discretion of the instructor. The objective of this course is to train divers how to plan and conduct a standard staged decompression dive not exceeding a maximum depth of 45 metres / 150 feet. The most common equipment requirements, gear set-up, and decompression techniques are presented. Students are permitted to utilize Enriched Air Nitrox and Helium mixes with no greater than 20% He content, and up to 100% oxygen for decompression diving provided the gas mix is within their current certification level. Breathing gas mixtures containing more than 20% Helium or less than 21% oxygen are not permitted (+/- 1%). 10.2 Qualifications of Graduates Upon successful completion of this course, graduates may engage in decompression diving activities without direct supervision, utilizing helium and/or nitrox mixtures so long as: 1. The diving activities approximate those of training 2. The areas of activities approximate those of training 3. Environmental conditions approximate those of training 4. Breathing mixtures do not contain more than 20% Helium or less than 21% Oxygen (+/- 1%) and are within their current diving certification level Upon successful completion of this course, graduates are qualified to enroll in: 1.

As reported by Dr. John Leslie of the Mayo Clinic “I was diagnosed with an L4/L5 Disc Herniation and was facing surgery” “After a work-related injury I found it hard to walk, stand, sit or even lie down. I even had to take an absence of leave from my job ... due to my pain.... After learning that I had a herniated disc at L4-L5 I was scared that I would be facing surgery. I had tried everything with no results. After 4 weeks of decompres- sion, my pain was completely gone! Thank you for allowing me to get my life back! ~ Jeff B. Herniated and Bulging Discs How does Spinal Decompression help? toms during the first few treatment sessions, and most experience dramatic pain relief after completion of their Non-Surgical Spi- prescribed treatment program. nal Decompression slowly lengthens and decompresses the spine, creating negative pressures within the discs. This reversal of pressure creates a vacuum inside the discs that helps to reposition bulging discs and draw extruded disc material back into place, taking pres- sure off pinched nerves. Once the pressure is taken off the nerves the pain, numbness and tingling go away. What are the Symptoms? Common symptoms of a herniated disc Will It Work? include: Based on the experience of thousands of patients treat- • Electric, Stabbing, Shooting or Burning ed by decompression, the overall success rate is around Pain down an arm or leg 80%.
