NITROX Diver
Dive longer with NITROX
Depending on the gas mix you will be able to dive over a longer period of time. Enriched Air is a breathing gas with an oxygen content of between 21% and 40%, consequently you are breathing less nitrogen so can dive for longer as your body is taking on less nitrogen. Therefore it is a safer way to dive. The Enriched Air Diver course is one of the most popular specialty scuba diving course, and it’s easy to see why. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives.
You can typically stay down longer and get back the water sooner. No wonder many divers choose this as their very first specialty.

Stress & Rescue Diver
Know what to do when your buddy is in trouble
Learn how to recognise and deal with stress, and help your buddy if necessary. Some tricks and treats that will help you to stay calm under water. The deeper we get, the less room for mischief, and hence the more use for confident and good educated divers.
First Aid and stress recognising as well as stress treatment are the focus of this specialty. You will learn how to help other divers if an emegency occurs, or best, to prevent emergencys in the making through early recognition and calm reactions. "Don't Panic" is the motto!

Furthermore is night diving one of the most relaxed and quiet diving experiences there is.
