Purpose

This Program is designed to provide Sport divers with a safer breathing medium for enjoying dives in the 40 to 130 fsw (12 to 39 msw) depth ranges. The diver may elect to dive the "mix" on EANx tables, or dive conservatively using air dive computers or air tables.

The IANTD EANx Diver qualification may be taught as a single Program or combined with a variety of the IANTD Advanced or Specialty Diver Programs.

The Program covers the use of EANx mixes in the range of 21% to a maximum of 40% oxygen.

    All divers must perform 2 dives on an EANx mixture of between 24 and 40% oxygen.

    Program covers all EANx mixes from 21% to a maximum of 40% oxygen, emphasizing the use of EAN32 and EAN36.

    Open Water Training Dive No. 1 - EAN32

    Open Water Training Dive No. 2 - EAN36

 

Program Limits

  • No dives may be conducted to depths greater than the student’s previous qualification, or a maximum of 130 fsw (39 msw).

  • Appropriate safety decompression stops must be performed.

Qualification Requirement

A diver completing only the lecture portion of the EANx Program will receive a wall certificate. When the diver logs the minimum two OW dives, and is signed-off by an IANTD Instructor, the IANTD EANx Diver card will then be issued.

Written Exam

  • 25 multiple questions

  • Passing requirement is 80%

Waterskills Development

  • On OW dives, the Instructor may elect to use the applicable EANx tables or plan the dives as if air were used, thus capitalizing on the maximum physiological safety factor.
  • Students must develop a dive plan appropriate for the mixes being used on both dives.
  • Dives must be supervised by either an Instructor or IANTD Divemaster.
  • OW dives #1 and #2 must be completed using an EANx mixture with between 24% and 40% oxygen.
