NASE COMPUTER DIVER

Most new dive students today, are doing their Open Water certification dives, using a computer. This is great, but often the dive student leaves the Open Water Diver course without a complete and thorough understanding of how computers work, their functions, and how they may be used most effectively. This course provides the diver with the knowledge and training to make optimal use of dive computers. And often this course helps the diver to make an educated choice when it's time to buy their own computer. 

This course is usually paired along with another 
certification course.

ENRICHED AIR NITROX

The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox program will teach you how to safely plan and dive with enriched air mixtures of up to 40% oxygen. Diving with enriched air can increase your no-decompression limits, increase your safety, and reduce the required length of your surface intervals when compared to air. You will earn the SSI Enriched Air Nitrox 32% or 40% certification after completing this program.

This course is usually paired along with another 
certification course.

ADVANCED OPEN

WATER DIVER

Be More, Do More: Imagine exploring a shipwreck nearly 30 m/100 ft below the surface or discovering how different the underwater world is at night. 

​

The NASE Advanced Open Water Diver course lets you:

  • Gain additional knowledge and skills beyond those covered in entry-level scuba training.

  • Receive an introduction to several specialty diving activities.

  • Qualify to plan and conduct dives, with a similarly qualified buddy, to depths of 30 m/100 ft, in conditions similar to or better than those in which the divers were trained.

  • Gain additional dive experience under the guidance and supervision of an NASE Worldwide Instructor.

This is a two day course, with 5 dives. Unless the student is new to NASE, then there will be an additional day of pool training.

This is a four day course, usually conducted over two weekends (1st pool, 2nd ocean),
and includes DAN Basic Life Support and
DAN Oxygen Provider certifications.

NASE RESCUE DIVER

Be the Ultimate Dive Buddy: Beginning diver courses generally limit emergency skill training to self rescue and tired diver assists.

 

Why?

 

Beginning students lack sufficient knowledge, skill and experience to truly master complex rescue skills. There is simply not enough time in most beginning scuba courses to cover all the rescue and emergency management skills that every diver should have.

​​

This is why the Rescue Diver course provides important follow-on training. It covers:

  • Self-rescue and diver stress.

  • Dive first aid.

  • Swimming and non-swimming rescue techniques.

  • Emergency management and equipment.

  • Panicked diver response.

  • Underwater problem solving.

  • Missing diver procedures.

  • Surfacing the unconscious diver.

  • In-water rescue breathing protocols.

  • Egress (exits).

  • First aid procedures for pressure related accidents.

  • Dive accident scenarios.

  • The Rescue Diver course also helps you meet important prerequisites for Master Diver, Divemaster and other leadership-level courses.
