Nitrox Requirement

[NorthlandDivers]

EAN Nitrox Specialty Course is one of those classes that I recommend to all my divers.  If I'm on a dive trip and it's available I use it all the time.  I strongly encourage our customers to take the course.  I would love to go back to teaching EAN Nitrox along side our Open Water Class, but, we would have to increase the tuition of the Open Water Diver Course.  We do teach the Computer Specialty course along with our Open Water Diver Course to give new divers the basic understanding and a heads up on using the dive computers.  We also use the dive computers in our Open Water Class so not only are they getting the head knowledge in the classroom, but they are getting the practicle knowledge in the water.  When we go to log the dives we always have them access the log book function in the dive computer to find the info.  Comfort thru repetition!
If your really going to gain more bottom time and shorter service intervals your really going to need an EAN Nitrox Dive Computer. That I think is just as important as the class and you are going to have to know how to use it.  Sorry I'm getting long winded here.
I like grumpie's comment that "all the divers he knows uses Nitrox all the time because of course Nitrox is air verses EAN Nitrox which of course you all know is "Enriched Air Nitrox".  I hope all of you have a really great week now that the snow has stopped and good diving to all!
