TECHNICAL COURSES
NITROX COURSE
Extend your bottom time.
Diving with enriched air (EANx) can increase your no-decompression limits, your safety, and also reduce the required length of your surface intervals when compared to air.
This program will teach you how to safely plan and dive with enriched air mixtures of up to 40% oxygen and allow you to conduct dives between 40 and 132 ft (12 and 40m).
It is the first step for all the next technical courses,as you will have a better understanding of breathing different gas blends.
WHAT I WILL LEARN?
- Learn all information needed to understand and dive safely with different mixes of gas.
- Oxygen analyzer calibration.
- How to analyze the gas.
- Cylinder labeling/marking.
- Dive plan
LIMITS:
- Dives between 40 to 132 ft (12 and 40mts)
- EANx mixes between 21% and 40% oxygen
DURATION: minimum of 1 day
REQUIREMENTS
Open Water Certification or equivalent
Sufficient experience to satisfy the instructor that the student has the ability and knowledge to continue into this level of training
Minimum age: 10
ADVANCED NITROX COURSE
First approach to decompression procedures.
This Program is designed to extend the diver’s knowledge in the use of EANx for Sport diving.
It further develops diving skills and provides a greater understanding of the EANx concept of diving.
The purpose of this program is to qualify divers to go to 132 ft (40m) with the decompression stops required using only 1 deco gas blend.
WHAT I WILL LEARN?
- Precision buoyancy control and dive techniques.
- Emergency situations and drills.
- Dive plan (gas management, CNS exposure risks, MOD…)
- Deploy a lift bag.
- General awareness.
- Accident management and control techniques.
LIMITS:
- Dives between 40 to 132 ft (12 and 40mts )
- EANx mixes between 21% and 100% oxygen
- Maximum PO2 limit during the dive: 1.4 ata
- Dives will be made without creating situations in which decompression is required
DURATION: minimum of 3 days
