Enriched Air Nitrox – Spend More Time Submerged
Want to stay down longer and get back in the water sooner? As a Nitrox diver, you can increase your no-decompression limits, improve your safety margins, and shorten your surface intervals—meaning you spend more time diving and less time waiting on the shore or boat.
In this essential program, you will learn how to safely plan and dive with enriched air mixtures. Whether you are planning a local weekend of diving or a dream liveaboard holiday, Nitrox is the one tool every modern diver needs in their arsenal.
Choose your level: This course can be completed entirely online for a 32% Nitrox certification, or you can join us in-person for a practical analysis session to earn the full 40% Nitrox rating.
