You would like to increase your SAFETY , have longer bottom times, less surface interval time and keep your ENERGY running. This FREE nitrox course is for you!
To be enrolled in this program you need to be an Open Water diver. The Nitrox certification will allow you to dive Nitrox. We teach this course for free. You just have to pay for the SSI fees.
Nitrox is a breathing gas enriched with Oxygen. Instead of 21% of Oxygen, you can blend up to 40% of Oxygen in your tank. In doing so, your body will accumulate less nitrogen when diving which will allow you to dive longer! If you dont dive longer, you will be less tired after your nitrox dives because you accumulate less nitrogen.
Practical exemple:
If you dive on Air at 27 meters, your Max bottom time will be: 30 min VS If you dive on Nitrox 38 at 27 meters, your Max bottom time will be: 50 min
Remark: Air = 21% of oxygen & Nitrox 38 = 38% of oxygen (in the tank)

What does Nitrox / Eanx means?
Nitrox is a breathing gas enriched with Oxygen. With a nitrox compressor, we can prepare blend of air with different pourcentage of oxygen (up to 40% for recreational diving comparing with the 21% that you are used to breathe at 1 bar).
Hence, diving with a nitrox blend will allow you accumulating less nitrogen due to the fact that you will breathe more oxygen. As a result, you have the option to dive longer with your computer set on nitrox.
You will increase your safety in reducing the risk of decompression sickness if you dive with your computer set on air. In other words, you will be ready to go diving on liveaboards for instance.
