The Technical Nitrox program trains divers in the technical use of Nitrox and Oxygen mixtures for diving deeper than the recreational limits
Qualifies Diver to: Dive as deep as 180 ft outside of training utilizing mixes from air and nitrox to 100% O2 for decompression
Minimum Prerequisites: Advanced Nitrox
Classroom and Theory: Role of Stress in Training Reducing Risk Planning deep dives Team Selection Team Preparation Equipment Selection Equipment Configurations Bottle configuration: stages Equipment Preparation Physics and Gases Breathing Mixtures Oxygens use in decompression Oxygen toxicity: cns and otu Gas calculations: deeper into FO2, PO2
