Enriched Air Nitrox Specialty
The basic Enriched Air Nitrox course is one of the most sought-after courses out there. Diving with Nitrox extends your No Decompression Time, increases your safety and reduces the length of your surface intervals. It is also an ideal gas mix for dives up to 40 meters.
Enriched air is simply a gas mix that has a lower percentage of Nitrogen and a higher percentage of Oxygen when compared to normal air. The ideal gas mix will be determined depending on the depth chosen.
