PADI Speciality Dive Courses — Blue Waters Dive Cove

Enriched air, or Nitrox, is a gas mixture that has a higher content of oxygen than normal air.
Breathing Nitrox underwater has huge benefits for divers. It can extend our allowed time underwater and also reduce the time we must spend on the surface between dives. Therefore, it is no surprise that this makes it PADI's most popular speciality course.
The price covers the theory only option which consists of completing the required online material and some time with an instructor.
You will learn to manage oxygen exposure safely, analyse the contents of your cylinder and correctly use your dive computer with Nitrox. Dives using Nitrox are optional at an additional cost.

As every diver knows, good buoyancy makes a good diver.
Being in total control of buoyancy during a dive ensures that every aspect of the dive is safe and smooth. Participants will save air and physical effort as they learn to ascend, descend and hover effortlessly. Divers skilled in buoyancy control also enjoy animal encounters more as they can easily observe marine life without disturbing surroundings.
Over the 2 dives divers will optimise weighting, trim, efficiency and go through various skills to perfect buoyancy control.

The PADI Dry Suit course is perfect for those looking to become comfortable, confident and competent using a dry suit. This then opens up the world of cold water diving, so nowhere on the world is off limits based on temperature! Learning here in Gozo's warmer waters also makes life extremely easy, allowing those taking the course to focus on their skills, particularly buoyancy skills, in an extremely relaxed environment.
The course consists of at least 2 dives over 1 day, but can be extended to a 2 day course should both student and instructor find it necessary. As the suit is now filled with air to keep the diver dry and warm, the main focus is controlling buoyancy with the suit, some safety skills, dry suit care, donning and doffing.
