Online theory:
Once these documents have been checked by us, you can start your training: in the "Training" tab click on "courses", then choose ENRICHED AIR NITROX.

Medical certificate:
To follow diving courses in Belgium, a medical examination is mandatory. Before starting the course, you will have to present the instructor with a medical certificate of fitness to dive, valid for a maximum of 1 year. For this, you will consult a doctor BEFORE participating in the course. When you are certified, this medical certificate will be required in most diving centres in Belgium and abroad.
