Extended Range XR Nitrox

SSI Technical Courses

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM Extended Range XR Nitrox

The SSI Extended Range Nitrox programme offers a complete introduction to the concepts, techniques and procedures required when planning a decompression dive with nitrox.

Designed as a stand-alone programme or a stepping stone to becoming an SSI Extended Range diver, this enriched air diving programme provides fundamental skills that are the basis for all future technical programmes.

Using a Sidemount Total Diving System or Twinset XR, this programme prepares divers to plan and carry out decompression dives limited to a maximum depth of 40 metres / 130 feet.

In addition, this advanced nitrox diving course will teach you the techniques and procedures for using breathing gases of up to 100% of oxygen for decompression.

What they say about us

Great diving centre

Ellen_adn_Pedro

We did two days of diving with Easy Divers Albufeira. We were greeted with a smile and all the paperwork was organised.
We rented a bcd and brought our own dry clothes and other equipment. The bcd was in good condition.
Everything is well organised and as promised at 9am we set off for the dive.
We've been snorkelling elsewhere in the Algarve and here in Albufeira we saw huge spider crabs, which were very cool to see. Other creatures included octopus, nudibranchs, conger eels and moray eels. Overall we enjoyed the diving.
We felt that the dive centre was very concerned about safety. The boat has a marine toilet, which is a definite plus!
I'd dive with them again!

What an experience

Anita E.

What a great team, they were very helpful and patient. It was my first dive for a while, a bit nervous, but I didn't have to stay while they looked after me. I dived with Fernando, which was a pleasure. He gave me confidence and I was also able to see so much beauty in the ocean. Thanks guys.

Albufeira Easydivers - 2-dive trip

Guy C.

The general professional attitude with good reference to safety contributed to two very enjoyable dives with Easy Divers.
In particular, our dive leader, Ana, was very experienced, polite and clear with her diving instructions.

Amazing dive centre

Amazing dive centre. I went on a 2-dive trip with Paulo and Wilson in charge of the boat. Very comprehensive safety instructions, top-notch equipment and a fun and safe experience.

Great dive setup - highly recommended for diving in the Algarve!
