Advanced Nitrox Course
This program is designed to expand the divers knowledge in the use of Nitrox and instructs divers to maximize their bottom time with limited decompression. Advanced nitrox diving provides access to Nitrox mixes from 21% oxygen to 50% oxygen for decompression. The use of multiple mixes of gas in a single dive provides access to safer diving profiles in an extended range of operation. Advanced Nitrox training is designed to inform the diver about the use of higher fractions of O2 and multiple mixes of Enriched air nitrox, and provides an introduction to technical diving.
The course introduces the student to equipment and skills which will be built upon in the technical diver courses. Participants will further refine those skills learned previously. Aimed towards the experienced diver who wishes to take full advantage of nitrox without technical diving exposures.Lectures outline the safe use and management of multiple gas mixes, 50% O2 management and procedures, decompression strategies, as well as equipment and related skills. Technical diving basics and equipment requirements are taught in this course. This course forms a foundation for safe
decompression diving, as well as a platform for continuing education into more advanced practices and technical diving.
