Nitrox Class:

In your ENRICHED AIR NITROX program you will learn all the necessary rules for planning dives with Nitrox and using Nitrox in a safe way. An important key point in the entire program is analyzing your own tank prior to any Nitrox dive.

“Nitrox for free” is a slogan in a lot of resorts. This means that you do not have to pay a surcharge for Nitrox, but all diving operators will want to see a valid Nitrox certificate before you can dive.

ENRICHED AIR NITROX contains optional dives and therefore it is a perfect “Winter Specialty” before your diving holiday starts. This will allow you to go diving immediately and enjoy the advantages of diving with Nitrox

Computer Diver:

 Have you ever been standing at the dive site asking yourself how to correctly set your brand new computer?”

A lot of divers have been in this situation and would have done anything to avoid it. This is exactly why COMPUTER DIVING is such an important course. It is your chance to learn and understand diving computers.

Learning how to plan your dive with a table is extremely important. It is how you develop an understanding of the decompression theory. But in real life, divers do not dive a table profile. The modern diver does multi-level diving which means that the dive incorporates different depth levels. These kind of dives can only be planned with a special type of table or a dive computer. Dive computers make diving safer and easier if you know how to set and use it correctly.

COMPUTER DIVING SPECIALTY COURSE Content:

•The equipment and preparation for multi-level-dives
•Medical aspects of multi-level-dives
•Dive Computers in comparison to dive tables
•Emergency management and procedures in multi-level-diving

    Due to my work schedule, I would like to take the classroom portion through an online course. I would like to know if you offer the confined and deep water dives separate from the classwork and what the cost would be. Thank you.

    • Brad says:

      By all means do the class room portion online and then come to the shop to complete your course. You will still be required to take a written test and do the pool work along with all of the open water dives associated with the class. If this interest you write me or call the shop to arrang everything….
