Use decompression software and dive computers to plan and make decompression dives with no more than 10 minutes of total decompression and not deeper than 40 metres/130 feet. Use a single cylinder of decompression gas with up to 50 percent oxygen (EANx50) to add conservatism to the required decompression.
Course Requirements
PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (or hold a qualifying certification from another organization)
PADI Enriched Air Diver (or hold a qualifying certification from another organization)
PADI Deep Diver (or hold a qualifying certification from another organization) or 10 dives deeper than 30 meters
Minimum of 30 logged dives, at least 10 dives with EANx, 12 dives deeper than 18 metres. 6 logged dives deeper 30 meters.
At least 18 years old
Signed medical form from a physician stating that you are fit to dive
