Nitrox Course
Basic Open Water Diver certification by any recognized
agency is a pre-requisite. Proof of certification is required.
Nitrox is a term used for gases containing less nitrogen and
more oxygen than normal breathing air. The use of Nitrox will
permit the diver to safely remain submerged for a longer period
of time but has other restrictions such as depth and cumulative
exposure limits. The PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) course will
train the diver to safely manage this new breathing gas and
take advantage of it's benefits. Classwork, written examinations
and two open water dives using Nitrox are required for this
course. Successful candidates will receive a PADI Enriched Air
(Nitrox) certification card.
