Hello,
Just had a question around doing the Nitrox certification. I'm a pretty comfortable diver, and I like to make the most of my dive time, which usually means liveaboard holidays with 4 dives a day. Problem is, I tend to get pretty tired, so I was thinking about doing the Nitrox certification as people have told me it helps to keep you fresh. Taking a quick look at courses, I can see a theory only course that can be done in an evening, or a course including a couple of dives. Problem is, I reeeally don't like the idea of diving in cold water in the UK (I have mostly dived in SE Asia). Just wondering what people's thoughts are..
Is it pointless to do the theory only course without practically applying it?
Would I be able to use Nitrox on a liveaboard if all I have done is the theory course?
If I were to try and organise to do the course while I was away on a trip, would it eat into my holiday much or would I barely notice it?
Thanks!
