The SSI Extended Range Nitrox course is designed for divers who want to take the next step beyond recreational diving and begin exploring the foundations of technical diving in a safe and structured way.

This program focuses on the use of nitrox mixtures up to 100% oxygen and teaches divers how to safely extend their bottom times while making staged decompression dives to a maximum depth of 40 meters.

Throughout the course, divers learn advanced dive planning, gas management strategies, and the proper use of specialized equipment such as stage cylinders, redundant gas supplies, and technical configurations.

In addition to developing technical skills, the course emphasizes problem-solving, safety protocols, and proper ascent procedures to reduce risks during longer and deeper dives. By completing the SSI Extended Range Nitrox course, divers gain the knowledge and confidence to expand their diving opportunities, explore more challenging environments, and lay a solid foundation for future technical diving training.
