Deeper into diving
NITROX COURSES
Do you think nitrox is some strange gas only used by hardcore technical divers who dive to extreme depths into the abyss? In fact, nothing could be farther from the truth. Nitrox is simply enriched air – i.e. more oxygen, less nitrogen and therefore you have the advantage of extended no decompression time. This provides great safety advantages for every diver and this is one reason why we now offer two excellent combined courses at very special prices:
SSI Open Water Diver + SSI Nitrox or PADI Open Water Diver + PADI Nitrox
SSI Advanced Adventurer + SSI Nitrox or PADI Advanced + PADI Nitrox
In addition, for some dives it is very rewarding to use some of that extra no decompression time to stay longer at depth and enjoy the marine life. Still unclear about nitrox and its advantages? – then please just stop by the dive school and we can explain it in two minutes. Theory duration: 1-1.5 hours. The course price (please see our pricelist) includes student manual, two dives, certification and instruction.
SSI ADVANCED ADVENTURER / PADI ADVANCED COURSE
Do you already have your Open Water Diver certificate, but would like the freedom to dive a bit deeper or are you interested in learning a bit more about a special area of diving such as night diving, underwater photography, wreck diving, our amazing marine life or keen to improve your buoyancy and air consumption?
