Nitrox
Diver
Air is not necessarily the best breathing gas for diving and Northeast
Scuba Supply can show you all of the advantages of using Oxygen
Enriched Air (EANx, nitrox). During this program you will learn
all of the myths and concerns of using Oxygen Enriched Air, safe
dive planning and equipment procedures.
Nitrox diving has become the best way for recreational
scuba divers to enjoy their dives and stay safe. This is a comprehensive
course and the diver will have hands-on experience with the filling
and analyzing of their Nitrox.
Underwater Photography
Your friends are always jealous about the diving stories that you
tell, now let’s really make them moray green with envy. Earn
to capture the images of your dives and bring those memories back
to share.
During this course you will become proficient
with the most popular underwater camera in the world, the Sea &
Sea MX10. We will show you how to load and care for the camera,
use normal and wide angle lenses and introduce you to macro photography.
You will also learn about other camera
systems that are available, such as the Nikonos V, Sea & Sea
Seamaster Pro and housed cameras. And we will not leave out digital
photography as we have the Sea & Sea DX-3000G on hand and popular
software.
Dry Suit Diver
Let’s face it, our local waters can be a bit brisk and there
is no need to be chilled during your dive if you learn to use a
lightweight, comfortable dry suit. During the Dry Suit Diver Course
you will learn all about the different types of dry suits that are
available and their advantages and disadvantages of each one.
Proper donning and doffing techniques
are presented as well as those little tricks to maintain your dry
suit. Repair procedures and fast field repairs are covered so you
will never have to miss a dive. We will also settle that age-old
question, “Do you use your dry suit or your BC for buoyancy
control?”
Rescue Diver
Are you ready to handle
an emergency? The Rescue Diver course will train you in the knowledge
and skills needed to manage risks and effectively handle limited
in-water emergencies. Included are: assists, transports, surface
rescues and rescues at depth involving both boat and shore based
skin and scuba divers.
First Aid and CPR
Whether you need this for your Rescue Diver or Leadership Course,
because it is just good information to know, we can guide you through
all of the steps for First Aid & CPR. We will explore the “Chain
of Survival”, step-by-step first aid step, alerting EMS and
beginning Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation. This course is also OSHA
and US Coast Guard approved.
O2 Provider
We all learned in our basic scuba course that oxygen helps in the
event of a scuba diving emergency. But do you know how much to give?
What flow rate to use? How this stuff all goes together? The O2
Provider course will answer all of those questions and a lot more.
Wreck Diver
Ships find their final resting place on the sea floor by tragic
means of accident, weather and war. To explore these significant
time capsules takes specialized skills and a trained eye. At Northeast
Scuba Supply we run two of our own charter boats and can provide
a unique learning experience in the waters of New Jersey, that are
rich in history.
Become a Deep Sea Sleuth as we explore
ships that went down in the Civil War Era, WWI and WWII. We will
learn techniques to research shipwrecks, wreck photography and navigation,
how to responsibly care for shipwreck artifacts and preserve them.
Deep Diver
This course is to provide the diver with the skill and knowledge
to safely plan and make deep dives while minimizing risks and avoiding
the need for stage decompression. Deep diving is defined as dives
between 60 and 130 fsw. Coverage is to include the purpose, planning
and hazards of deep diving as well as equipment considerations,
air calculations and gas management.
Night Diver
As the sun sets on a day of diving and the reef and sea creatures
that we are familiar with go to sleep a whole ‘nother world
is just waking up. Many creatures are nocturnal; they come out at
night, like octopi and moray eels. The Night Diver course will give
you’re the knowledge you need to venture into the darkness
and see the exciting things like a basket star, an octopus on the
hunt or large crabs as the forage around the reef. But, very quiet,
we do not want to wake up the sleeping parrot fishes.
Ice Diver
Is the lake frozen over, but you’d still like to dive? Join
us on our annual Ice Diver Training Course and literally learn the
ropes for ice diving. You will learn the techniques to gauge safe
ice, penetration procedures, gas management and surface support.
First aid for hypothermia communications and emergency procedures
will also be covered.
Search and Recovery
Diver
It’s lost. How do you find it? Now that you found it, how
do you safely get it to the surface? The Search and Recovery Diver
Course will show you the different search patterns and tools to
find a lost item and which pattern works best for the differing
environments.
After you locate your treasure we will show
you how to rig a lift bag, which lift bag to use and how to control
that bag all the way to the surface.
Underwater Ecology
Many divers are seeking activities that are not only enjoyable,
but have social purpose. As an amateur underwater ecologist, such
purpose can be found in the knowledge that your observations are
aiding marine scientists in their pursuit of greater understanding.
This program will introduce you to the scientific methods of observation
and how to report your findings to the scientific community.
Hunting and Collecting
Did you ever notice how some divers always come back with a full
catch bag of lobsters, scallops, sea bass and other tasty treats
from the sea? What do they know that others do not? The Hunting
and Collecting Specialty will cover the different methods for gathering
food, including spear guns and pole spears and the ol’ hand
is quicker than the lobster method.
Local game laws will be reviewed; best seasons
for game, cleaning techniques and a few delicious recipes will be
shared. Join us and learn to fill your freezer and enjoy really
fresh seafood.
Training Assistant
Are you the type of person that always likes to help out and share
what you’ve learned with others? If so, then the Training
Assistant program could be just what you are looking for. The course
will enhance your general skills and abilities and allow you to
assist others during training activities overseen by an active status
NAUI Instructor.
Introduction to Technical Diving
The Introduction to Technical Diving Program is designed to give
the Open Water or Advanced Diver an opportunity to improve their
skills, knowledge and equipment configuration, thereby increasing
their safety and efficiency. The class will allow open water recreational
divers the ability to increase their confidence and skills under
the watchful eye of a NAUI Instructor. The program will also prepare
advanced divers for the rigors of technical training, should they
choose to continue on with those demanding courses.
By utilizing streamlined and efficient equipment
configurations, divers will have the freedom to improve their skills.
These divers will be more skilled, aware and responsible, allowing
them to have more fun and safer dives.
Improving non-technical skills and techniques
and building diver confidence are the goals of this program. Correcting
bad habits and mastering skills and techniques builds a solid foundation
for divers to continue on with more advanced training.
Skills that will be concentrated upon include,
but are not limited to: precision trim and buoyancy, diver awareness,
streamlining equipment configurations, improving kicks, dive team
planning, communication techniques and risk assessment.
