Nitrox Specialty Course
Looking to extend your bottom time? Then check out Desert Divers Nitrox specialty course. The Nitrox (Enriched Air) Diver program emphasizes the theoretical and operational considerations involved with diving with Nitrox. Additionally, you'll go on two open water training dives during the program. To find out how to make the most of your bottom time, stop by Desert Divers and tell them you want to dive Nitrox today. The Nitrox Diver Course is designed to teach you the procedures for safe, recreational no-decompression diving with Nitrox (Enriched Air). The course covers the equipment and procedural concerns involving Nitrox (Enriched Air) as well as how to plan dives and determine your no-decompression limits and your oxygen exposure limits when using Nitrox. You'll learn the proper procedure for obtaining fills, as well as the hazards associated with handling and diving with Enriched Air (Nitrox). Enriched Air (Nitrox) has been around for over 50 years in the military and commercial diving fields. Now recreational divers can enjoy all the benefits of diving with Nitrox such as increased bottom time, decreased nitrogen narcosis, and added safety and conservatism. Classroom topics include Advantages & disadvantages of Enriched Air (Nitrox), Equipment requirements, Dive planning, Managing oxygen exposure, and Special applications. During the openwater dives you will use what you've learned in the classroom to properly plan and conduct 2 dives using Nitrox. You may use all of your existing equipment when diving with Nitrox. Most SCUBA regulators, gauges, and BCD's may be used without modification. (In some instances, special cleaning and/or replacement parts may be needed.) Tanks will require additional stickers/markings to identify them as a Nitrox cylinder. Program includes 1 classroom session and 2 openwater dives. After completion of this course you will be able to have your tanks filled, plan dives, and conduct dives safely using Enriched Air (Nitrox) mixtures from 32% to 40%. Students are responsible for watching a video and reading the textbook prior to the classroom session. |
