Master Scuba Diver Click for Details

The Master Scuba Diver course is the highest non-leadership sport diving program available. When you complete this course, your diving skills and knowledge should be at a NAUI Instructor level. Because we are located in the heart of the beautiful San Juan Islands, a world-class diving destination, we are able to offer some very unique training opportunities for Master Scuba Divers. During the classroom and workshop part of this course, you will learn about advanced diving physics, physiology, equipment technology and repair, marine biology and ecology, salvage diving and salvage law, surface-supplied diving with voice communication, diving first aid and oxygen administration, and hyperbaric chamber treatment procedures. You will complete at least eight advanced dives including boat diving, kelp forest exploration, wall drift diving, seamount diving, wreck diving, commercial diving, search & recovery, salvage and deep diving.

Nitrox Diver Click for Details
Oxygen enriched air (Nitrox) has become very popular and readily available to sport divers world-wide. Because of the reduced risk of decompression sickness, many tropical diving destinations offer Nitrox to vacationing divers. If you make three to four dives a day, several days in a row, your risk of DCS is increased and using Nitrox helps to reduce that risk. This course will qualify you to use Nitrox mixtures with up to 40% oxygen. You will learn the physics and physiological aspects of using oxygen enriched air, and the depth limits associated with oxygen toxicity.
