Longer bottom time.....                     Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) Diver   OVERVIEW This is course is to provide the diver with the information necessary to utilize EANx as a breathing medium. The course may be taught as a stand-alone specialty course to certified divers or the knowledge and skills training may be integrated into the NAUI Scuba Diver course. QUALIFICATIONS OF GRADUATES Upon successful completion of this course, graduates are considered competent to utilize EANx in open water diving activities without direct supervision, provided the diving activities and the areas dived approximate those of training. COURSE POLICIES Dives shall not exceed a depth of 130 fsw (40 msw) or 1.6 atm PO2 , whichever is less. No planned dives requiring actual decompression stops on the appropriate EANx tables are to be permitted. (Maximum PO2 of 1.4 is to be taught with 1.5-1.6 as contingencies.) This course may be taught as a NAUI Recognition Program if the open water training dives are not included. Recognition may be upgraded to EANx Diver certification upon completion (within six months) of the required dives under supervision of a NAUI EANx Instructor. SKILL REQUIREMENTS At least two dives are to made using EANx, one of which is to be a repetitive dive. The student is to analyze his or her own breathing mixture and to plan and safely execute each dive. ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS The following topics are to be covered: history of nitrox as a breathing gas; Dalton’s law of partial pressures; physiology of oxygen and nitrogen; depth limits, advantages, disadvantages and risks of nitrox; oxygen toxicity; hazards and precautions of handling oxygen; the concept of Equivalent Air Depth; use of EANx with Standard Air Dive Tables; common gas mixing procedures; and gas analyzing procedures. PREREQUISITES FOR ENTERING THE COURSE Age. Minimum is 15 years. Certification: NAUI Scuba Diver certification or the equivalent is required unless combined with the Scuba Diver course. The instructor is to ensure adequate student knowledge and capability before any open water training and shall use skill or other evaluations to do so.

South Florida has some of the best diving in the world.  Starting in Jupiter Beach and ending in the Keys,  you can find pristine diving.  There are numerous ship wrecks and abundant reefs.  We have drift diving,  beach diving and anchor diving.  I specialize in providing diving adventures and I am centrally located in Fort Lauderdale.  I will provide a full service experience. Photography Service: As part of any service, I provide a complimentary disk of photos will be available.
