๐ข Enriched Air Nitrox
Longer Dives. Less Nitrogen. More Safety.
The Enriched Air Nitrox Course is one of the most popular diving specialties worldwide. Nitrox is an oxygen-enriched breathing gas containing up to 40% oxygen and a correspondingly lower percentage of nitrogen.
Because your body absorbs less nitrogen during a dive, many divers benefit from longer no-decompression limits, shorter surface intervals and reduced physical stress during repetitive diving.
Why Dive with Nitrox?
Modern diving medicine has shown that reduced nitrogen absorption can help lower the risk of decompression-related problems. At the same time, Nitrox offers significant advantages, especially for divers making multiple dives per day.
- โ Reduced nitrogen absorption
- โ Longer no-decompression limits
- โ Increased safety margins
- โ Shorter surface intervals
- โ Less fatigue after multiple dives
What Will You Learn in the Nitrox Course?
During the course, you'll receive an introduction to the planning and use of oxygen-enriched breathing gases. You'll learn the essential knowledge required to use Nitrox safely and responsibly.
- Fundamentals of oxygen and nitrogen
- Advantages and limitations of Nitrox
- Analyzing Nitrox cylinders
- Calculating maximum operating depth
- Dive planning with Nitrox
- Safety considerations when diving with Nitrox
Who Is This Course For?
The Nitrox course is suitable for nearly any certified diver and is particularly valuable for holiday divers who plan to make multiple dives per day.
On Koh Tao, Nitrox is frequently used by divers who want to maximize their time underwater.
Perfect in Combination with the Advanced Course
Many divers combine the Nitrox course with the Advanced Open Water Diver course or other specialties.
This allows you to immediately enjoy the benefits of oxygen-enriched air while continuing to gain valuable experience underwater.
Your Next Step
Nitrox is one of the easiest ways to improve your diving experience while increasing your overall safety.
More time underwater. More comfort. More safety.
