NDL PROFESSIONAL BUOYANCY DIVER: $120 (Book Above)

You are no longer a rookie and, as a minimum, have passed an Open Water course. Any novice diver, passing the initial training, is facing, generally, a number of problems. Whether it be problems with buoyancy control, fatigue, poor posture under water, and, as a consequence of all this, high air consumption. Any underwater activity requires perfect neutral buoyancy, otherwise it turns out to be hard work instead of relaxation. Let’s say you want to take underwater photos and videos. Even the most beautiful motives will not turn into good photos without perfect buoyancy. In addition to the comfort and lower air consumption, neutral buoyancy helps divers to preserve a pristine environment.
With the NDL Professional Buoyancy Diver course scuba divers improve their skills in establishing and maintaining neutral buoyancy at all times, including unusual situations. For instance, you will learn to remove and replace weight belt and BCD while hovering in mid-water.
Upon completion of training divers are awarded the qualification diver NDL Professional Buoyancy Diver.

DEEP DIVER NDL: $120 (Book Above)

After completing the course DIVER NDL you can dive to a depth of 18 meters. Indeed, all the bright, colorful reef diving is shallow. And yet, deep diving always attracted people. What is there, in the deep? Yes, it is dark and cold. At greater depths, you will need to use more air. But this is not the only thing which limits your time in the water. With increasing depth tissues will fill with nitrogen. All this is true. But the deep still attracts with its mystery. So what’s the deal? What are the reasons that people make deep dives?
1.) At greater depth you will see completely different marine which cannot be found in shallow water.
2.). Reefs are in better condition due to the fact that there are less divers.
3.). Wrecks tend to be in deep places. Ships rarely sink next to the shore.
4.). Divers want to enhance their experience by increasing the depth limit, within reason, of course.

According to NDL standards, any deeper than 18 meters is considered deep. The maximum depth of recreational diving is 40 metres.
The qualification DEEP DIVER NDL allows you to:

Increase the safety and comfort at depth
The maximum recommended depth is 40 m.

NITROX: $120 (Book Above)

As we already know from the course Diver NDL, the main components of air are nitrogen and oxygen. The nitrogen in the periodic table of the international nomenclature is denoted by the letter N, oxygen is denoted by the letter O. The mixture of these gases has been called Nitrox. A Nitrox gas mix with a content of 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen is called air. In diving, Nitrox with increased oxygen content from 22% to 40% is commonly used.

Why dive with Nitrox?

The increase in the percentage of oxygen in the breathing mix and, consequently, a decrease in nitrogen content allows the diver to spend more time at depth. In other words, the less nitrogen, the less saturation in human tissue and the lower the risk of decompression sickness. In addition to increasing the time limits at depth, while breathing oxygen-enriched gas, divers have the opportunity to do more dives with shorter surface intervals between dives. Using a Nitrox mix with a higher oxygen content reduces the risk of nitrogen narcosis. Your instructor will teach you how to plan dives using enriched air.
The Course NDL Nitrox Diver allows you to get knowledge needed for the use of nitrogen-oxygen breathing gas Nitrox. Anyone with an Open Water certification can participate in this course. The theoretical part contains information on the dangers and peculiarities of using the breathing mix Nitrox. The practical part consists of the development of skills for diving with Nitrox.
After completing the course, students receive a certificate NDL Nitrox Diver.

to plan dives using tanks with a mixture of Nitrox;
