I wanna get the endorsement. Any suggestions for best "bang for the buck"? $200.00 seems mighty expensive...
Nearly two hours into the TDI online course and I'm just 16% through it. Geez, I'm slow...5 in our recent group in COZ took advantage of the port closure to obtain their PADI Nitrox. $220.00 and two hours later they became Nitrox certified.. class was 150.00 and PADI take the remainder.
I did a PADI and they explain how to use the PPO2 limits.^^^ Very true. I did PADI, my daughter did NAUI at different times, probably should have been reversed. PADI is for people who would be happy how to analyze a tank, memorize the MOD for 32 and 36 at pO2 1.4 so they can use shop provided tanks and fills and label the tank correctly. NAUI is for people who would like to calculate the ideal mix for any given planned depth, what the compromises are between different pO2, switch from feet and psi to meters and bars on the fly, and have their own tanks and patience to ask for a custom fill and wait for it if needed.

That was all covered in my PADI materials. How detailed the instructor went into it depends entirely on the instructor.people who would like to calculate the ideal mix for any given planned depth, what the compromises are between different pO2, switch from feet and psi to meters and bars on the fly, and have their own tanks and patience to ask for a custom fill and wait for it if needed.
