Nitrox Course

This is the entry level certification course for recreational divers wishing to utilise enriched air Nitrox (EAN) as a breathing gas. The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for using Nitrox mixes from 22% to 40% oxygen content.

What do I need to start?

• Minimum age: 15 years
• Minimum certification of Diver or current enrollment in a diver course
• The Nitrox program may be taught in conjunction with an open water diver certification

How long will it take?

One day and the option of 2 dives..

This course examines the use of EAN-21 through 100% oxygen for optimal mixes to a depth of 40 m. The objective of this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for utilising EAN-21 through 100% oxygen for dives not requiring staged decompression (decompression techniques may be combined with this course).

What do I need to start?

• Minimum age: 15 years
• Nitrox Diver (or equivalent)
• Show poof of 25 logged open water dives

This course examines the theory, methods and procedures of planned stage decompression diving. This program is designed as a stand-alone course or it may be taught in conjunction with such courses as Advanced Nitrox, Advanced Wreck, or Extended Range. 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 m unless taught in conjunction with the Extended Range Course. The most common equipment requirements, gear set-up, and decompression techniques are presented. Students are permitted to utilise Nitrox mixes or O2 for decompression if the mix is within their current certification level.
