IANTD Advanced EANx diver program

The course runs over 4 days. We cover in detail; the physics of diving, diving physiology, dive equipment and configuration options. The theory also covers dive planning including the use of decompression software.

There is a big emphasis on gas management, team diving and self-discipline. We finish the theory with an exam with a pass mark of 80%.

1 confined water session and 4 open water dives will be made including 1 non-decompression and 1 decompression dive between 30 and 42 meter.

During the open water dives we will practice a variety of dive techniques including gas switch training to a decompression gas. The open water dives will be made with mixtures between 21 and 39%, stops are made with EANx mixtures between 40 and 50%.

Rated 5 out of 5
I did my IANTD advanced eanx diver as well as their homemade PADI PPB XTend course. Both were really challenging and as a diver, I learned a lot! Harry was my instructor and his experience, dedication and professionalism are beyond imagination. I really liked everything about the courses and dives.
