Nitrox Diver Courses

We now offer Nitrox/EANx courses (and fills!) aboard our extended liveboard diving vessel, TAKA.

If you want to stay underwater a bit longer, feel less tired after repetitive dives and have shorter surface intervals, then the Enriched Air Nitrox Specialty Course is for you. The course involves all theory aspects for planning and conducting dives using enriched air.

Nitrox is a breathing gas consisting of oxygen and nitrogen (similar to air), but with a higher proportion of oxygen than the normal 20.9%.

Nitrox is mainly used in Scuba diving to reduce the proportion of nitrogen in the breathing gas mixture. Reducing the proportion of nitrogen by breathing Nitrox can have two benefits:

• reduces the risk of decompression sickness
• extends dive times without increasing the need for decompression stops
