NAUTILUS DIVE TECH GUARANTEES THE HIGHEST QUALITY AIR IN LOS CABOS

Nautilus Dive Tech just received our latest
report from Trace Analytics Gas Analysis.  We continue to exceed the
industry standard by complying with the ANDI Oxygen Compatible Air
Standard.  All dive centers should have their air tested quarterly in
order to provide their clients with safe breathing gases.  Some dive
centers test their gas annually.  This is a step in the right direction,
but it is not sufficent to practically maintain quality air
standards.  Furthermore, an annual test that is completed immediately
after a filter change does not accurately represent the long term quality of
the air.  The last NDT gas report was taken at the end of the filter
cycle.  Theoretically this is the worse the gas should be.  It is
still within ANDI Oxygen compatible air standards. NDT

NAUTILUS DIVE TECH STUDENTS

Nautilus Dive Tech would like to congratulate
Federico and Marc on finishing their ANDI Complete SafeAir User Course.
You were both a pleasure to work with.  We are looking forward to
completing your Technical SafeAir Diver course in the next few weeks.  -NDT STAFF

whale shark research on pregnant females

One of the Nautilus Dive Tech instructors (Roberto Cortes) has had the privelege of assisting on a couple of dive/snorkel excursions to Gordo Banks studying the behavior of pregnant females.  It is one of the few documented places to see these amazing animals during this part of their life cycle.  We hope this will lead to a better understanding and further conservation of this gentle giant.  Unfortunatel,y this particular animal looks to have been injured along its side.

Nautilus Dive Tech takes the quality of the gas we are using seriously.  In addition to our quarterly analysis through Trace Analytics, we now offer our customers spot checks for carbon monoxide using the Analox EII CO Analyzer.  This simple to use hand held device allows divers to sample the gas from their tank to ensure its safety regarding carbon monoxide.  Carbon monoxide poisoning is an extremely rare but unforgiving hazard for divers.  It can be the result from a compressor intake pulling polluted air, incomplete combustion of hydro carbons, flasing in delivery lines, or pour filter mainetenance.  CO readily combines with hemoglobin in the blood stream.  This process interferes with the bodies oxygen delivery system.  As the CO levels rise the oxygen levels drop.  With sufficent exposure and ambient pressure the effects of CO poisoning can result in anoxia.  The heart, brain, and central nervouse system tissues are effected first.

Grade E gas:  10 ppm of CO (toxic at 5 ATA)

Nautilus Dive Tech: 2 ppm or less of CO

Highest breathing gas standard in the world!!
