Advanced Nitrox and Decompression
Deeper dives with longer bottom time is what Advanced Nitrox and Decompression is all about. These two courses are usually combined together into a single course, as they work hand-in-hand to accomplish this goal.
Stuart Scuba will teach you the theories, methods, and procedures of planned stage decompression while using optimal breathing gas mixtures. We will teach you advanced dive planning and using the best gas mix from EAN21 to 100% Pure Oxygen. Advanced Nitrox and Decompression is one of the foundations of technical diving in any environment.
