Even
though NITROX has been used by the NOAH and NAVY divers
for over thirty six years, the sport diving industry has
just come to accept NITROX in the last few years as a
safe gas for the recreational SCUBA diver.
Just like any new technology there have been misunderstandings
about NITROX gas and how it will be used and misused by
sport divers.
LEARN ABOUT NEW EQUIPMENT!
NITROX for normal sport diver depths is definitely a safer
gas to use, with less uptake of nitrogen and faster offgasing
during safety stops. You will be able to stay down longer,
and get back into the water quicker between dives as well
as do more dives per day. During this class you will find
out how simple it is to incorporate new ideas and technology
with your existing diving system.
Many of your present diving activities will be enhanced
with the added safety and longer bottom times. Think how
much more fun you will have taking pictures and exploring
the underwater world!
LEARN NEW TERMINOLOGY!
This class is designed to enhance dive planning skills
that you already have and incorporate NITROX into them.
The class is taught in one session where you will learn
dive planning, Enriched Air Cylinder filling protocols and
practice gas analysis procedures. The class has an optional
two open water dives that can be completed on any of our
trips with the instructor. These dives will allow you to
use this class as a SPECIALTY class towards Advanced Open
Water certification. You will also receive a credit for
two rental NITROX tanks. This way you can practice your
NITROX dive planning and have an opportunity to dive NITROX!
Sounds too good to be true? Sign up now for the new specialty
class and learn about the gas that will make your diving
safer.
