Gained my sports diver few weeks ago. Just wondering if dive shops will accept this for Nitrox fills or will i need to further purchase a seperate nitrox card even though i,m already qualified for Nitrox.
Clarification on this matter would be much appreciated.

Can i also hijack your thread?
Similar subject, as a newly qualified ocean diver, under BSAC guidlines im allowed to use Nitrox fills using Air Tables.

How do the shops take to this, can I just say im using it on Air tables? I've not yet tried but im sure its going to come up shortly.

You need to apply for your C card HERE (http://www.bsac.org/page/818/nitrox-diver-workshop.htm) then present it when you have a fill

Yep, check out the link, I believe all the details are there. BSAC Ocean come into us for NITROX and produce a C card with Photo.

Hope this helps

Ive never been asked for a card of any sort to buy nitrox anywhere in the UK.

So you never had to complete any fill logs or verify the tank contents either?

In the UK no. Its always analysed in front of me (and i do it myself later) and thats it. No nannying. The system works.

As a recently qualified Ocean Diver (who can now use nitrox on air tables), am I right in thinking I should download the application card from within this zip file: http://www.bsac.org/uploads/documents/Theory_Assessment_and_Card_Application_OD.zip

Secondly, I do not yet have a qualification Ocean Diver card, can this be purchased along with the nitrox card (i.e the above form?),

Any advice on this is greatly appreciated,

Hi,

From my understanding (and I've just checked with the Shop), the cost of your Ocean Diver "Q" Card was part of the training Pack you paid for. Now all you have to do is send in the "Q" Card application form from the training pack and the Shop will sent the card direct to your home address.

Regards
