Nitrox Plus: The Missing Link…

A NEW APPROACH TO ADVANCED RECREATIONAL DIVING TECHNIQUES

This is nothing to do with cavemen, just something that helps to fill a gap in recreational training from RAID.

The brand new RAID Nitrox Plus Course is designed for recreational divers who wish to extend their underwater time and gain insights into technical diving. But without investing in tonnes of new kit.

Nitrox Plus provides the essential knowledge and skills to help divers explore new depths while managing the benefits and considerations of nitrox use more effectively than ever. The plus is that this is a two cylinder course which provides the security of extra gas when your adventure takes you to the recreational limit of 40 metres/150 feet. This is also a great opportunity to learn the most efficient way to carry a second cylinder of bottom gas… a great strategy when diving beyond 30 metres/100 feet, or so!

This course focuses on using nitrox for dives with a maximum safety stop of 10 minutes and incorporates a conservative gradient factor to ensure safety.

Nitrox Plus kit configuration can be:
Single cylinder (with or without H or Y valve) of adequate capacity for the planned dive.
One standard primary regulator setup fitted with long hose including piston clip.
One low-pressure (LP) inflator hose for BCD and dry suit (if appropriate). LP connectors must be interchangeable.
One backup regulator with standard hose fitted with neck bungee.
One SPG with piston clip.
Stage cylinder holding suitable gas volume of bottom mix for planned dives.
Stage cylinder rigging kit.
Cylinder marking for MOD, Diver Name and Mix (labelled as per RAID cylinder marking standards).
Suitable DIN regulator with SPG on a short HP hose.
A recreational BCD that has capacity to carry a stage cylinder.
