TDI ADVANCED NITROX COURSE

Are you looking to expand your dive time? Maybe you’re a scientific diver or photographer looking to stay in the water a little longer?The TDI Advanced Nitrox Course qualifies divers to use enriched air nitrox from EAN 21 through EAN 100 percent within your current certification level to a maximum depth of 40 metres/130 feet during dives that do not require staged decompression. Often taught in conjunction with the TDI Decompression Procedures course, this can be considered the foundation of your technical diving career.

FAQs

What will I need for the course

For all technical diving courses we would expect that you have your own equipment and that you are familiar with it. However, please let us know you are missing anything, you might be able to hire it from us or we could also place an order from one of our suppliers.

How many students per course

At MK Scuba Diving we like to keep the group as small as possible to ensure that you have plenty of time in the water and full attention from the instructor. The maximum students per group is three with the standard and one for the 1-2-1 option

Where do we dive

We use mainly Stoney Cove – Sapcote Rd, Stoney Stanton, Leicester LE9 4DW. This is formal quarry which has great facilities and is ideal for dive training. They have a shop, gas filling station, changing rooms with showers and a pub where we usually go to do our debrief.

We also use Vobster Quay so we can be flexible depending on where you are based.
