About Using Nitrox

What You Should
know About NITROX

Nitrox is the Future of Diving...want to increase your bottom time, add a tremendous margin of safety to your dive profiles and have more physical energy, stamina and mental clarity on your dives?Nitrox may be the answer for you.

"Nitrox Makes Me Feel Sooo Good!"

We breath Nitrox every day. Nitrox is any combination of nitrogen-oxygen. The very air we breath is made up of 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. Nitrox is simply a breathing gas that has a lower nitrogen content and a higher oxygen content (within safe parameters) than air. Decompression obligation is dependent on the quantity of nitrogen absorbed by the body during a dive, limiting the diver's bottom time. The cave diver or scuba diver will feel refreshed and totally alert during cave or scuba dives, will be able to safely increase bottom times, and safely shorten surface intervals between dives.

The Nitrox Course requires one day - and two dives are required. Certification is through TDI. The Nitrox course may also be combined with other various courses since this course is suitable for both Open Water Divers, as well as with various cave diving courses. Because oxygen content is 40 percent and less, no specially oxygen cleaned equipment is necessary. Curriculum consists of class sessions, labeling procedures for EANX tanks and an understanding of the process for properly analyzing gas mixtures.

Cost : $150.00 when combined with other courses.
