In a few words
This trip is designed for divers looking to take their skills to the next level and enhance their experience through two complementary courses: Nitrox and drysuit diving . Conceived as a true progression step, it allows participants to acquire essential skills for greater comfort , safety , and control underwater.
Nitrox training teaches you how to use an oxygen-enriched mixture to extend your time at depth , reduce fatigue, and optimize your dive management. Simultaneously, learning how to use a drysuit opens the door to cold-water diving, while also improving thermal insulation and comfort during dives.
Beyond these two specializations, this program lays the foundation for a more advanced approach to diving: improved gas management , a thorough understanding of equipment , and enhanced buoyancy control. Practical exercises also allow participants to work on stability , body control , and comfort in various conditions.
Accessible from Level 1 level , this course is designed for divers wishing to gain independence , strengthen their confidence underwater , and calmly prepare for more technical diving. A medical certificate stating no contraindications to diving is required.
