Dry Suit Diver - $249
Beat the cold and be warm by using a drysuit. Dry suits let you dive in even the coldest conditions but they are a little more complex than a wetsuit. The Dry Suit Diver course will help you perfect your trim and get the most from a dry suit and make the most from your dives all year round

This course requires an evening pool session and an open water diving day.
 
Enriched Air Nitrox $250
Diving enriched air lets you safely extend your no decompression limits, which means more time underwater and shorter surface intervals - so you can get back in the water sooner!!

The most common misconceptions about Nitrox is that it is for divers wanting to go deeper and that you need special equipment. However, nitrox is most beneficial at depths of 5 to 30m with NO special equipment required.A short course is all that is required to begin using nitrox immediately.

New Zealand standards require the diver to complete two dives using nitrox prior to certification. These can be completed without your instructor as but your instructor wil need to see proof these dives have been completed.
