Speciality Course "Enriched Air Diver"

What is NITROX ?

Enriched Air (sometimes called “NITROX") means, that the air contains more than 21 % Oxygen. In sport diving we use enriched air with a maximum of 40 % oxygen.

Why NITROX ?

Divers use enriched air to increase the decompression limits compared to the decompression limits of compressed air. When you dive with enriched air a part of the nitrogen, which you would breath in under water, is replaced by oxygen, so that you absorb less nitrogen than you would have done on the same dive using compressed air.

Training Standards and Overview

This Course was designed to give scuba divers the possibility to qualify for “no decompression dives” using “enriched air” (NITROX). After the completion of the course you will be able to plan dives and conduct dives safely using Enriched Air (NITROX) mixtures form 22 % to 40 %, especially for Enriched Air with 32 % and 36 % Oxygen.
The course comprises theory and certification.

Duration: maximum 2 days
