Take Your Diving to the Next Level
The Enriched Air Diver course, commonly called the Nitrox course, allows you to extend your bottom time and reduce surface intervals by using air with a higher oxygen content than regular compressed air. With less nitrogen absorbed in your body, you can dive longer and explore more during each adventure.
Why Dive with Nitrox?
Nitrox has become one of the most popular specialties among recreational divers thanks to its many benefits. By reducing nitrogen intake, you can spend more time at your favorite dive sites, make multiple dives in a day more comfortably, and feel less tired after diving. It’s especially ideal for exploring deeper reefs, wrecks, or dive sites with multiple levels.
The Benefits for Your Diving Experience
Using enriched air lets you maximize your dive time, particularly when exploring areas that require extended bottom time or when you want to fit in more dives without long surface intervals. You’ll notice the difference, especially on multi-day dive trips, where fatigue is reduced, and your underwater time is optimized.
What You Will Learn in the Course
During the course, you’ll learn how to safely plan and execute dives with enriched air mixtures containing 32% to 40% oxygen. You’ll understand how oxygen exposure affects your body, how to analyze tank contents, and how to adjust your dive computer for Nitrox diving. This knowledge ensures both safety and efficiency on every Nitrox dive.
Training Without Required Dives
One of the advantages of the Enriched Air Diver certification is that it doesn’t require open water dives to complete. Through theory lessons and practical exercises, you’ll gain the skills to confidently dive with Nitrox up to a maximum depth of 40 meters (130 feet). Once certified, you’ll be ready to apply your new knowledge to any dive trip around the world.
The Gateway to Longer, Better Dives
Whether you’re exploring coral gardens, swimming through a wreck, or spending extended time photographing marine life, diving with Nitrox enhances your experience. With more time underwater and less fatigue afterward, you’ll make the most out of every dive and take your skills to a whole new level.
