Nitrox?

[jowens727]

I'll be taking fundies in the fall but i was wondering what to do in the mean time... I'm only OW and want to dive nitrox so im just wondering where i should get it.. is there a gue course for it or should i go with another agency?

Nitrox (32%) is covered and certified in Fundies. If you can wait till then, you'll be getting a "free" nitrox class and card.

oh schweet.. thanks for the heads up

 

[jowens727]

what about primer?

 

[Rainer]

Primer unfortunately does not serve as a nitrox class.

 

[jowens727]

there arent any primers till fall anyways so ill most likely just go for fund

 

[Rainer]

Great class. You'll have a blast.

and i get to do it in cave country

I suggest taking a Nitrox course, there are many dive profiles where a mix greater than 32 may be ideal. The class does not typically need dives, is a one nighter and will provide you with good info. and usually is pretty cheap.

I would take PADI nitrox, for the same reason as doing PADI AOW. Some shops just have no clue that GUE-F teaches nitrox and there is always a chance that they will refuse to fill your tanks.
