The SSI Extended Range Nitrox program provides a thorough intro to the concepts, techniques, and procedures required for decompression diving with nitrox.

Designed as either a stand-alone program or a stepping-stone to become a full SSI Extended Range diver, this enriched air program provides foundational skills that are the basis for all future technical programs.

Using either a sidemount or back-mounted twinset configuration, this program prepares you to plan and conduct limited deco. dives to a maximum depth of 40 meters using breathing gases up to 100% oxygen.

You will learn to:

• Use decompression software and dive computers to independently plan and conduct decompression dives, with no more than 15 minutes of total decompression, and not deeper than 40 metres.
• Use a twinset or XR Sidemount total diving system.
• Use decompression gas mixtures with up to 100% oxygen to add conservatism to the required decompression.
