The Nitrox/Enriched Air Diver course is the most popular diver specialty course and the number of extended range and technical divers is on the rise, which means that lots of scuba divers, want enriched air and gas blends.
The Tec Gas Blender course teaches you to blend enriched air nitrox and helium-blend gases using one or more blending methods. Being the blender is a key job at our busy Instructor Training Center and our work, allows other divers to do what they love to do.
Become an Extended Range Side mount Diver
The Pro-Dive Extended Range Side Mount course trains you to dive in a side mount configuration, utilising the techniques required to use multiple-stage cylinders, carried for decompression diving efficiently and effectively.
