Plan your descent and bottom time carefully before splashing, as the fixed 28-metre depth leaves no shallower option to extend the dive if you are pushing no-deco limits. Nitrox fills are available at the dive shop, and using an enriched mix will give you meaningful extra bottom time at this depth.
