Diving Course: Nitrox Scuba Diver

Diving Course: Nitrox Scuba Diver

This program focuses on the use of enriched air (Nitrox) with an oxygen content between 22% and 40%, assisted by dive computers, allowing us to control no-decompression limits while reducing nitrogen absorption.

You can take advantage of this in two ways:

  • Extend your no-decompression time during dives, allowing for longer bottom times.
  • Continue diving within standard air no-decompression limits, enhancing your personal safety by absorbing less nitrogen.

 

With this course, you will learn to:

  • Understand oxygen exposure management.
  • Practice analyzing the oxygen content in a scuba tank.
  • Set up your dive computer for diving with enriched air nitrox.

Requirements:

Medical restrictions:

  • You should not dive if you have diabetes, heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, are pregnant, or suffer from any cardiopulmonary condition.
