IANTD Advanced Nitrox Diver

IANTD ADVANCED NITROX DIVER COURSE

The foundation program for safe self-sufficient diving. The IANTD Advanced Nitrox program covers the core skills from the technical diver training programs including the use of dual outlet single cylinders or twinsets with central isolation manifolds and decompression skills and procedures using bottom mixes up to 40% nitrox and decompression mixes up to 100% oxygen to a maximum depth of 42m (140ft). An essential component of this program is equipment configuration which is covered in a series of lectures and practical workshops.

The aim is to construct a safe self-sufficient equipment configuration that is streamlined, accessible, and promotes familiarity.

The theory covered includes the EAD concept, oxygen physiology, % CNS 02 pulmonary toxicity tracking, the use of EANx as a decompression gas, gas switching techniques, partial pressures, and best mixes. This program qualifies divers to dive to 42m (140ft) and perform decompression stops utilizing EANx decompression mixtures with an oxygen concentration no greater than 1.5 pO2 for a maximum duration of 15 minutes.
