I had my doubts as well. They have not even mentioned Daltons diamond or any of the basic calculation formulas.

Shirley, that should be triangle

I think it's fine that it's a limited course. If you're qualified to dive Nitrox 32 and 36 to 20m max using air tables or an air computer, then do you need complicated formulae?

For Sports Diver then the forumale and Dalton's Triangle are covered.

Personally I think it's a good thing. There are no downsides to Nitrox at Ocean Diver, and quite a few upsides, although I agree that the main benefit is to Sports Divers.

I'm due to teach a few of these workshops in the next month or two. I'll let you know how they go.
