ENRICHED AIR – NITROX

Wish you had more time underwater?  Enriched air is the fastest growing specialty in the recreational dive industry.  Using air containing more oxygen and less nitrogen you can stay longer because you are absorbing a smaller amount of nitrogen into your tissues. 

The course consists of a small amount of theory, including reading the Enriched Diver manual, completing two knowledge reviews and taking an exam.  With an instructor, you will go over the advantages/disadvantages and safety procedures of using NITROX, as well learn to analyze cylinder contents.  Our course also includes two open water dives using NITROX, where the only skills required are the planning and the diving!!  All together the course takes about a day to complete (broken up into two half days).

Minimum age: 15

Duration: Two 1/2 days including  a 2-tank dive.

Prerequisites:  Be certified as a PADI Open Water Diver or have a qualifying certification from another training organization.
