Compressor

Power

All our ALUMINIUM CYLINDERS have a valid hydrostatic test certificate.

In our resort we have a SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN TRAINED
BY BAUER COMPRESORS.

POSEIDON DIVE CENTER, uses a quality German compressor the BAUER K 14
from which we take regular air samples which are sent for checking to specialist laboratories in the United States. The procedure ensures our compliance with the compressed air for breathing requirements established by the CGA G-7.1-2004
GRADO E (2) regulations.

OUR CLASSROOM IS AIR CONDITIONED.

The course materials we work with are the most up to date available from PADI which facilitate autonomous effective learning at your own speed.

Nitrox

As an addicional service we installed in November 2006 the use of NITROX
( ENRICHED AIR WITH MIXTURES FROM 32 UNTIL 36% OXYGEN).
The greatest advantage about diving with Nitrox is the longer No decompression
limit and you feel less tired after your dives. You can count with 23 scuba tanks exclusively for Nitrox.
