Dive beyond the recreational depth limits with an Extended Range course.
The Extended Range Course builds on the knowledge you learned in the Advanced Nitrox course, but trains you to dive to a depth of 150fsw (45m)
Extended Range diving opens up dive sites previously unreachable by recreational divers.
The Extended Range Course allows a properly trained diver to explore depths up to 150fsw and use one accelerated decompression gas and not exceeding 20 minutes of total decompression time.
