Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver

Nitrox Triple Stack Many of you have heard or read about Nitrox already. Nitrox usually refers to a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen with a higher percentage of oxygen than normal air (EANx – Enriched Air Nitrox).

The two most commonly used mixtures are EANx 32 and EANx 36 with 32% and 36% oxygen concentration, compared to 21% in normal air. Used by scientific and naval divers since the 1960s, Nitrox allows divers to safely extend their no decompression limits.

The one – two day PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver course includes academics, cylinder analyses and two Nitrox dives. For more information see our TEC Diving website.

The famous Enriched Air Nitrox Course knowledge development is now also available online.

Emergency First Response

EFR-heartThe PADI Emergency First Response (EFR) – a basic course in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency care – teaches you simple, logical steps that you can take to assist somebody who needs help. With practical application and hands on experience this course becomes beneficial for both diver and non-diver. The PADI Emergency First Response course meets the certification requirements for several PADI courses.

Rescue Diver

The PADI Rescue Diver course is designed to develop the necessary knowledge and skills for you to effectively perform rescues and assists, manage diving-accident situations and render proper medic first aid.

You’ll find the course enjoyable and highly interesting, although the nature and context in which such training may be used is quite serious. The primary objective of this course is to prevent the need for use of rescue skills. A good diver does not only solve problems, he prevents them in the first place!

The course includes five Academic Sessions and twelve Open Water Training Exercises over a minimum of three days. The PADI Rescue Diver rating is a prerequisite for all PADI leadership programs.
