Enriched Air Diver – Nitrox

Dive with Nitrox

A Nitrox Diver certification is a great tool in your belt, as it enables you to stay longer and recover faster at the surface. It’s excellent for liveaboard diving, and we often dive the Thistlegorm wreck on nitrox:

• 1 day course – theory and practical
• Qualifies you to dive on enriched air, with an emphasis on 32% and 36% for recreational diving
• Option to do 2 Nitrox Dives during your course, or to add Nitrox to regular guided dives

What is Enriched Air or Nitrox?

Nitrox has higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content than regular compressed air.

Diving on Nitrox gives you more bottom time, especially on repetitive scuba dives. You’ll also recover faster during your surface interval, as there’s less nitrogen in your body.

So if you’d like to stay down longer, and get back in the water sooner, do your nitrox course! It’s especially useful if you’d like to do our 1 day/3 dive trip to the Thistlegorm wreck and Ras Muhammad.

What will you learn?

You will learn about:

• Equipment used in enriched air diving

• How to analyzing oxygen content in your scuba tank
• How to set your dive computer for diving with enriched air nitrox
