DEEP AND NITROX

Enriched Air Nitrox

Course Details:

The Nitrox Specialty course certifies you to dive on Enriched Air Nitrox, which is a blend of gas that has more oxygen and less nitrogen. This means your body will absorb less nitrogen during your dive allowing you to have longer dives, shorter surface intervals and longer repetitive dives. Nitrox is very popular around the world, especially on live aboard boats, so this is a great skill to have!

Prerequisites:

Open Water Certification

Equipment Used:

Recreational Equipment.
Nitrox tanks and computer rental are included in the price.

Duration and Cost:

There are two options for the Nitrox Specialty, theory only or theory with dives. Both will fully certify you, but most people choose to do the dives so they can gain some experience.

Theory Only

1 day of academics

5,500 THB

Theory and Dives

1 day of academics and 2 Nitrox dives

7,500 THB

All materials, equipment use, training, and certification fees included.

Deep Specialty

Course Details:

During this course you will learn how to plan and safely execute a deep dive to 40 meters. We will go into all the considerations needed when diving deeper including:

  • How gases under increased pressure affect your mind and how to handle this
  • How to calculate your Surface Air Consumption Rate (SAC Rate) and how to use this information to calculate your total gas needed for any dive
  • Considerations for decompression limits, oxygen exposure, equipment, environmental factors and much more

By the time you complete this course you will be able to safely plan and execute deep dives, up to 40 meters.

Prerequisites:

Open Water Certification

Equipment Used:

Recreational Equipment

You also have the option to rent a backplate and wing BC configuration, and a long hose and short hose configuration for the regulator. This is the preferred configuration for any deep or overhead environment diving. After you give it a go, you will probably prefer this configuration on all of your dives.

Rental of the backplate and wing configuration is an extra 1,200 THB.

Duration:

3 Days

  • 1 day of academics
  • 2 days of diving (4 dives)

Cost:

8,000 THB

All materials, equipment use, training, and certification fees included.

Combined Deep and Nitrox

Course Details:

Get the most out of both the Deep and the Nitrox specialty courses by combining them into one 3 day course! In this course you will learn:

  • Effective use of Enriched Air Nitrox to maximize your time at depth and minimize your risk
  • How to calculate gas needs for any dive based on your Surface Air Consumption rate (SAC rate)
  • Optimal planing for deep dives on Nitrox to reduce risk and maximize bottom time
  • Other considerations for deep diving including equipment considerations, environmental considerations

By doing these courses together, you will save money as well!

Prerequisites:

Open Water Certification

Equipment Used:

Recreational Equipment.
Nitrox tanks and computer rental are also included.

Duration:

3 Days

  • 1 day of academics
  • 2 days of diving (4 dives total, final dive on Nitrox)

Cost:

12,000 THB

All materials, equipment use, training, and certification fees included.
