BASIC NITROX - NITROX DIVER
This course prepares candidates for diving using a nitrox mixture with an oxygen content of up to 40% O2.
WHY IT'S WORTH COMPLETING THE BASIC NITROX COURSE:
Because by using a nitrox mixture for breathing underwater, we increase our underwater time and enhance the physiological safety of our dives.
UPON COMPLETION OF THIS COURSE, THE GRADUATE WILL BE ABLE TO:
• select the best nitrox mixture for the planned diving depth
• determine the maximum operational depth for the given mixture
• plan dives using nitrox up to 40% O2
• properly analyze nitrox mixtures
PRE-REQUISITES:
• minimum age of 15 years
• possession of basic diving qualifications
• completion of the required documents
COURSE DURATION:
• minimum of 4 hours of lectures, minimum of 2 dives
REQUIRED TOPIC AREAS:
1. History of Nitrox
2. Advantages and disadvantages of using nitrox
a) extension of no-deco underwater time
b) increase in physiological safety
c) oxygen toxicity
3. Physiology
a) oxygen O2
b) nitrogen N2
4. Equivalent Air Depth (EAD)
5. Equipment considerations
a) equipment for nitrox diving
b) issues related to oxygen cleanliness
6. Methods of preparing nitrox mixtures
a) continuous mix
b) partial pressure method
c) DNAx
d) weight method
7. Procedures
a) proper analysis of mixture composition
b) logging and logging of nitrox mixtures
QUALIFICATIONS UPON COURSE COMPLETION:
Upon successful completion of the course, the graduate receives an international certificate entitling them to dive using a nitrox mixture with an oxygen content of up to 40% O2 within the depth range of their qualifications.
Course price:
275€ including license issuance
