Nitrox

Course Overview

The Nitrox course teaches you to safely plan and conduct dives using enriched air nitrox (EANx) with up to 40% oxygen. You will learn the theory of nitrox diving, benefits and risks, gas analysis, and how to set your dive computer. The course combines eLearning with a practical workshop session under direct instructor supervision.

Quality over Quantity — the focus is on safe, correct procedures, gas analysis, and real-world application. You will demonstrate competence in all required skills before certification.
