Nitrox Diver & Refresher course

Breathing Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) has a number of benefits, which include extending your in-water dive time, and reducing your risk of decompression illness. Bottom-line: you will have more time to dance around the coral reefs and swim with the colorful fish! Whether you seek a full Nitrox certification, or wish to refresh your Nitrox diving skills, this HHUC offering is for you!

Certification option:  For divers holding a SCUBA diver or currently enrolled in an HHUC learn to SCUBA course.  This course includes a mandatory e-learning and a one-evening practical workshop.  The open-water dives will be offered based on availability.

Refresher option: For divers who already hold a Nitrox SCUBA certification and desire a refresher practical session on EANx diving.  Participants will attend the one-evening practical workshop with the full certification students.

Staff CPR and First Aid Recertification

It was an intense and hands-on weekend as HHUC staff and instructors completed their annual CPR and first aid recertification training. Participants attained their NAUI Diving First Aid for Professional Divers (DFA Pro) certification through an innovative program resulting from a strategic partnership between NAUI and the world’s leading diving safety organization, Divers Alert Network (DAN). Feedback on the course was immensely positive!
