OVERVIEW

This course is to provide the EANx certified diver with the skills and knowledge needed to minimize the risks of utilizing optimal breathing gas EANx mixtures* of 25% through 80% (oxygen) for dives to a depth of 150 fsw (46 msw) not requiring stage decompression.

The resulting course would require ten dives for certification.) *80% EANx used for decompression and 25% to 60% EANx used for bottom mix.
