The oceans are a huge, dynamic part of our planet. Surprisingly, it is only in the last century that we have begun to understand the importance of our oceans to us humans. To date, despite state-of-the-art technology, we have only explored about 5% of the oceans. Marine ecology is a broad and exciting field that deserves our attention and curiosity. This course is a basic introduction to these areas. It explores how organisms interact with each other and their environment, how energy flows through individual communities, and how oceanic ecosystems are interconnected. Immerse yourself in this course and find out what your role is in the changing ecology of marine ecosystems. At the end of the course you will receive the SSI Marine Ecology Specialty certification.

"Have you ever dreamed of having longer no-decompression times to take photos or explore wrecks? Or do you simply want more safety in terms of decompression when diving?" Nitrox allows you to do just that. Due to the lower nitrogen content in the breathing gas, the body is also less stressed and desaturation times are drastically reduced. In the ENRICHED AIR NITROX program, you will learn the rules that must be taken into account when planning dives and using Nitrox, as well as the gas analysis of your tank. "Nitrox for free" is already available at many diving centres abroad. This means that you do not have to pay extra for the special gas mixture. However, this does require the appropriate training, i.e. every diving center wants to see a certificate. Only then are you allowed to dive with Nitrox. Successful completion of this course entitles you to dive with Nitrox up to an oxygen content of 40%. Minimum number of participants: 2

"In the days when diving was difficult, photography was also difficult."
