Applicates are required to submit a copy of their Certification Card when registering. A SCUBA Diver or Open Water Diver card from any of the certifying organizations is acceptable. NAUI Advance SCUBA Diver: This course allows individuals to learn about specialties and diving activities of interest. Your confidence and skill as a diver will increase while you experience the excitement of learning more about the underwater world. You’ll also set personal goals such as improving your air consumption rate, maintaining better buoyancy control and reducing the amount of dive weight needed for a dive. Next, we review rescue skills because a prepared diver is a safe diver. During training, students complete a minimum of six open-water dives. You will complete three core dive skills: night dive, deep dive (130 feet/40 meters of maximum depth), and underwater compass navigation. plus, three additional dives based on your individual preferences and available options. NAUI Enriched Air Nitrox diver: During this course, you will learn how to choose the proper blend of Nitrox for your dive profile, determine maximum depth limits for your Nitrox mixture, analyze your breathing mixture, and plan and safely execute each dive. Your instructor will teach you about the physiology of oxygen and nitrogen; 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 more. After your exam, you will complete two dives to receive your Nitrox Diver certification card. Your NAUI instructor will integrate your Nitrox course into your Advance Scuba Diver course! Due to the safety of all participates cadets must be able to follow directions, pay attention to instructions, and have attention to detail. SCUBA is no place for shenanigans. Disciplinary issues will not be tolerated. One and done. Requirements:
Must be able to pass 2nd Class Swim Qual, see description below. For the safety of all do no try to gundeck this requirement. You do not need to be a strong swimmer; however you do need to be comfortable in the water. Your first pool session will consist of a swimming evaluation. This is the most strenuous portion of the entire class. The evaluation will be used to determine everyone’s skill level, which will then allow for any course adjustment that may be needed. We are most impressed with people who know how to pace themselves. The evaluation consists of swimming pool laps, treading water, diving to the bottom of the pool, and an underwater swim. After the first session, the pool work is more mentally challenging than physically exerting. Humans instinctively hold their breath underwater, which can lead to serious problems while scuba diving. The skills taught during this course will break the breath holding instinct and allow you ample time to become familiar with the dive gear. |
