| OUTLINE
This course examines the use of EAN 21 through 100%
(oxygen) for optimal mixes to a depth of 130fsw/40msw. The object of
this course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards and proper
procedures for utilizing EAN 21 through 100% (oxygen) for dives not
requiring staged decompression . (Decompression techniques may be
combined with this course at the discretion of the instructor).
PREREQUISITES FOR ENTERING THE COURSE
 | Minimum age 15 (unless combined with Decompression
Procedure - Minimum 18) |
| Nitrox Diver Certification. Proof of 25 logged dives
on EANx. |
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
| Classroom hours - 8 to 12 |
| 4 Nitrox dives. Student divers must demonstrate use
of a reel, lift bag, stage bottle and participate in an emergency gas
supply loss scenario and rescue simulation of a diver experiencing
underwater convulsions. |
| We recommend combining this course with a
Blender Course. |
