Nitrox Speciality
One of the most popular PADI specialty courses. Scuba diving with enriched air - nitrox – can give you longer dive times, especially on repetitive scuba dives.
Enriched Air, also known as “nitrox”, is an alternative form of breathing gas that has a higher oxygen content and lower nitrogen content than regular air. This allows divers to increase their bottom time due to less nitrogen being absorbed by the body. Along with increasing the no decompression time, it allows a diver to complete more dives and/or to have shorter surface intervals. It can also reduce your risk of decompression sickness, improving your overall dive safety.
The academic aspects of the PADI Enriched Diver will be completed by e-learning.
Through hands-on training at the dive centre you will:
- find out how to obtain and use nitrox
- discuss managing oxygen exposure and how to determine the optimal depth range, as well as the maximum safe depths for nitrox diving
- practice analysing the oxygen content in your scuba tank
- learn how to set your dive computer for diving with enriched air nitrox
- understand the differences between air and nitrox diving
The PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) course can also count towards your PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.
All the equipment necessary for the course is supplied by Oxford Dive Centre.
