Details
Extend your dive time, shorten your surface intervals and spend more time exploring the dive sites you love, with the SSI Enriched Air Nitrox Specialty certification program.
In this class, you will learn how to set your dive computer for Nitrox, determine the MOD of various Nitrox mixes, and test a Nitrox tank for its oxygen percentage. There are no required ocean or pool dives for a Nitrox class.
As a Nitrox diver, you can increase your bottom times and safety margins, plus shorten your surface intervals - so you can spend more time diving and less time waiting! In this program, you will learn new skills and increase your diving knowledge while learning how to safely plan and dive with enriched air mixtures of up to 40% oxygen.
Upon completion, you will earn an SSI Enriched Air Nitrox 32% or 40% certification.
