The NEW Cressi Archimede 2 dive computer ia now in-store.  This computer is designed with new and sophisticated software that during the dive can manage two different Nitrox mixes, which can be selected at any time of the actual dive.

The already excellent features of Archimede have been considerably improved both for scuba divers and for free divers who have the new GAUGE function as an indispensable instrument that can monitor all their dives in detail.

First of all, the saturation compartments have been increased from 9 to 12, for even more precise monitoring of the compartment saturation and de-saturation mechanisms.

And the possibility of using a second Nitrox mix during the same dive has also been introduced. This assists and faithfully monitors even those divers who choose to entrust the de-saturation of their organism to even higher oxygen-rich mixes, a practice that gives added safety to the dive a ...

Scuba Review - Alex L completed her PADI Scuba Tune Up this evening.  The scuba review is a theory and skills refresher for divers who have been out of the water for an extended period of time. 

Vanessa spent a couple of hours in the classroom with Alex covering areas such as dive planning and the RDP.  The session then allows the diver to refresh their skills in two ways.  Firstly you get the opportunity to view the skills on video then its off to the pool.

The 5m deep Leeds International Pool is ideal for skill development and the scuba review is no exception.  Vanessa guided Alex through her 20 skills circuit and offered her hints and tips for improving her skills.

After four days of fun, laughter and general first aid madness, the assessment day has arrived.  John, Yvette and Pauline all did really well under the watchful eye of our two EFR First Aid at Work assessors.  The assessment of the course takes three different formats, there is an exam, and two practical assessments.

The EFR First Aid at Work course is a valuable tool for many business' and allow participants plenty of time to practice and develop their skills over the four days.  The course is completely instructor lead, so allows business' to book staff on to the program at short notice.  Due to the number of EFR First Aid at Work assessors we have at Diving Leisure Leeds, we are able to offer this program at short notice and with flexible scheduling.

For further information about the EFR First Aid at Work Course please contact the dive centre on info@divingleis ...
