Advanced Nitrox
Welcome to your Advanced Nitrox course! By enrolling in this course you will be able to extend your bottom time by incorporating different gas mixes. You will be doing some modifications on your traditional recreational scuba equipment, (installing a dual outlet valve on a single tank or strapping on a pony bottle), which will allow you the safety of having a backup regulator compete with 1st and 2nd stage.
You will learn how to track your oxygen clock; Explore decompression theory; Implement in-water emergency procedures and develop your skills to dive to a depth of 150fsw.
