Enriched Air (Nitrox) Specialty Course PLUS
For those who want more bottom time! Enriched air or Nitrox is commonly offered by dive centres to allow you to extend your No Decompression Limit (time limit) on deeper dives. While quite safe when used appropriately, there are a number of things you need to know about Nitrox to avoid complications while diving. This training includes a theory portion (understanding how Nitrox works, safety considerations and recognizing oxygen toxicity), and important practical skills such as analyzing your tank and calculating your maximum safe operating depth.
While training standards don't require that you dive using Nitrox as part of this training, we don't think the course is complete without it. Therefore, our Nitrox course always includes two local dives to put your skills into practice, and so you can experience the benefits first hand.
