The certification weekend encompasses the following: dormitory-style accommodations for Saturday night, lunch and dinner on Saturday, breakfast on Sunday, as well as snacks, beverages, dive entry fees, instructor fees, certification card processing, and rental gear, which includes BCD, regulator setup, wetsuit, and tanks. An option to include Friday night accommodation along with breakfast on Saturday morning is also available.

Our Open Water Certification Weekends are designed to foster camaraderie and feature exceptional meals.

As a Nitrox diver, you can increase your bottom times and safety margins, plus shorten your surface intervals - so you can spend more time diving and less time waiting! In this program, you will learn new skills and increase your diving knowledge whilst learning how to safely plan and dive with enriched air mixtures of up to 40% oxygen. Upon completion, you will earn an SSI Enriched Air Nitrox 32% or 40% certification.
