The course consists of two parts:

• We'll show you how to analyze what's in your tank and how to plan dives.

Where and When?

Where? Usually during the evening or a weekend day at Atlantic Edge Scuba in Gaithersburg. We do occasionally hold classes in other areas. Check the schedule below. If you don't see a class that fits your schedule let us know and we'll look at setting one up for you.

When can you start? Regardless of what date the schedule mentions below, we are extremely flexible. The majority of the course is eLearning from home. When this is completed you will only need to come into Atlantic Edge to discuss the use of Nitrox and analyze a cylinder for about 45 minutes one evening at 6:00pm. You can choose the evening to complete the course with our instructor.
