When you did your open water scuba course, you were introduced to the wonders that lay beneath the surface of the ocean up to 18m. Next, you may have completed your advanced adventure scuba diving course, which allowed you to explore depths of 30m max. If you feel that those depths haven’t really pushed you to your limits, we invite you to complete our deep scuba diver specialty course. Specifically, this course teaches you how to plan and execute dives up to a maximum depth of 40m.

Nitrox (EAN) is a gas we use to limit decompression sickness and extend our diving time. This is done by limiting the amount of nitrogen in our gas with blends from 22% to 40% oxygen. Although your depth is limited to your current diving certification, diving with nitrox allows you to spend longer times underwater with a shorter surface interval. If you’re swimming with manta rays at Manta Bommie or trying to photograph that shark we went diving for at Flat Rock, and would like to extend your dive time and reduce the risk, then the nitrox certification is for you!
The nitrox speciality diving course can be taught with any Brisbane scuba diving course or social boat dive or why not dive on EAN 32% on any of my boat dives.

The wreck specialty diving course covers the planning, techniques and hazards of wreck diving. Additionally, we cover how to prepare torches and wreck reels; both required for limited wreck penetration. Further, the course teaches you how to map out the wreck, as well as how to navigate the outside of the wreck and identify entry and exit points.
The course is conducted during a double dive at the ex-HMAS Brisbane. Also, you have the option of choosing to complete a third and fourth dive, which grants you the limited penetration certification. Although this certification comes at an additional cost, it offers more exposure to limited penetration and the correct use of wreck reels. In particular, this additional certification is recommended if you are planning on completing a technical course.
We will return to the bay during the surface interval. Here, you will be served coffee and tea with some food. This break allows us to debrief the dive, as well as explain the limits of limited penetration.
Finally, you can choose to combine this course with nitrox training. In particular, this is the most popular specialty diving course we offer.
