PADI ENRICHED AIR / NITROX COURSES
We now offer Nitrox/EANx courses (and fills!) aboard our liveboard diving vessel.
If you want to stay underwater a bit longer, feel less tired after repetitive dives and have shorter surface intervals, then the Enriched Air Nitrox Specialty Course is for you. The course involves all theory aspects for planning and conducting dives using enriched air.
What is Nitrox / Enriched Air?
Nitrox is a Mixed Gas of Oxygen Enriched Air between 21% oxygen and 40% oxygen.
The air that we normally breathe while diving is approximately 20% oxygen and 80% nitrogen.
One reason that this is so popular is that it is usable on all your dives.
What are the advantages?
Longer time under water. For example:
It is possible not only to extend your bottom time dramatically, but also to keep further away from your limits.
