Scuba Update: Renew Your Skills
Has it been a while since you have been in the water? Can't quite remember which knobs do what? Sounds like it's time for a Scuba Update. This course is designed to refresh your memory and give you a chance to hone your skills. You will spend about an hour in the classroom going over some important academic material and another 1 hour in the pool reviewing all the basic skills.
The course fee includes the Scuba Update and use of our scuba equipment in the pool. You will need to provide your own personal snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel, boots and fins).

Qualifies you for the Ntirox Certification.
Call it Oxygen Enriched Air, Enriched Air Nitrox or just plain Nitrox, this gas has taken the Sport Diving community by storm. Enriched Air Nitrox is a breathing gas consisting of air mixed with a higher percentage of oxygen. By adding additional oxygen to the mixture the rate of nitrogen absorption into the body is reduced. "Nitrox" is commonly used by recreational divers for one of two purposes: to increase the length of time one may stay at depth without requiring decompression stops and/or to reduce the risk of decompression sickness by lowering the overall nitrogen levels within the body's tissues.
A common misconception among divers is that Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) is a deep diving gas. In fact, EANx is best applied to shallower dives. As an example of the improved bottom time one may realize by using EANx a diver making a dive to 60 feet on air has a no decompression limit of 50 minutes. In contrast, a diver making the same dive on Nitrox containing 36% oxygen would have a no decompression limit of over 100 minutes.
Get started today! Stop by the store to sign up and pick up your student kit. After you have read the textbook and watched the DVD, you will schedule a 2 hour appointment with one of our Nitrox Instructors at the store. We will go over all the information, answer questions, show you how the analyzing equipment is used and then have you take the final written test.
No open water dives are required for EANx (Nitrox) certification.
Pricing: $125.00 Course Fee + $72.99 Nitrox Student Kit (Text Books & DVD) + $30.00 Certification Fee = $227.99
