This course provides the fundamentals of Nitrox diving, and introduces the diver to using Nitrox as an optimum breathing gas, ideally suited for Diving within the 15 – 39 metre range, utilising EANx mixtures ranging from between 21%-40%, with emphasis on using ‘standard’ mixes of 32% & 36%, aimed at maximising bottom time, reducing or avoiding Decompression penalty, and decreasing Surface Interval. The course can be taken as a 1-day theory-only module, or with an optional 2 dives.

Prerequisites: Ocean Diver or equivalent.

Price: €150

A 2/3 day course that introduces the diver to using custom Nitrox mixes up to 50% for Accelerated Decompression, using Nitrox Tables and computers. Dive planning, gas management and Oxygen servicing of Equipment forms the content of the course, together with an intensive practical element. The use of Twinsets can also be introduced here. This course is the ‘springboard’ to the Technical Diving Route. It can be combined with the basic Nitrox course.

Prerequisites: Sports Diver + Nitrox or equivalent.

Price: €300

This course introduces the Diver to Extended Range Diving (ERD) and the use of Mixed Gas (Trimix), enabling them to build on their Depth experience to conduct planned Dives to a maximum of 50 metres, using gas mixtures of 20-23% Oxygen and a maximum 30% Helium. Advanced kit configuration, the use computer-generated dives tables, gas management and Decompression systems form the basis of this course. The course is conducted over 4 days and includes a minimum of 3 dives.

Prerequisites: Min. age 18. Sports Diver + ERD or equivalent.

Price: €600

This course qualifies the diver in the use of Trimix gas mixtures containing greater than 30 % Helium, but still using Normoxic Oxygen levels of between 20-23%, enabling them to conduct planned Dives to a maximum depth of 60 metres. It builds on the Divers previous knowledge, allowing progressive build-up of Depth and Technique. The course is conducted over 5 days and includes a minimum of 4 Dives, if taken together with the Recreational SMG, or it may be taken as an additional module at a later stage, requiring 1-2 extra dives, and can be completed in 1 day.

Prerequisites: Min age 18. Sports Diver + Rec SMG or equivalent.

Price: €150 (€700)

This course, subject to a progressive build-up of depth experience beyond that encountered during their training, qualifies the diver to conduct planned dives to a maximum of 80 metres, utilising Hypoxic gas mixtures of less than 20% Oxygen. Further kit configuration method, use of computer-generated dives tables, gas management, Decompression Techniques and contingency form the basis of this course. The course is conducted over 5days and includes a minimum of 6 Dives.

Prerequisites: Min age 18. Sports Diver + Normoxic SMG or equivalent.

Price: €POA

Each 1-day course is aimed at the diver who either intends to mix gas in a branch or Dive Centre, or wishes to expand their knowledge of the gas mixing process. Each course covers blending calculations and software, blending equipment, gases, Oxygen cleaning, hazards and risk assessment and is followed by a practical session calculating and blending various mixes.
