Advanced Nitrox Diver Course

This course is to provide the basic Nitrox certified diver with the skills and knowledge needed to minimize the risks of utilizing optimal breathing gas EANx mixtures of 21% through 100% (oxygen) for dives to a depth of 150 fsw (46 msw) not requiring stage decompression. (This course may be combined with the Decompression Techniques Diver Course. The resulting course would require more dives for certification.) .
