SDI Computer Nitrox - Dive longer, safer, and smarter (149€)
Dive longer and enhance safety with Nitrox certification. Learn to use oxygen-enriched gas mixtures (22–40% oxygen) to extend your bottom time and reduce decompression stress safely.
What Is Nitrox?
If you are a new diver, you might be asking yourself, what is Nitrox? Nitrox is a breathing gas with more oxygen and less nitrogen. The magic of Nitrox lies in its reduced nitrogen content compared to standard compressed air. Excessive nitrogen buildup can lead to decompression sickness (DCS), a potentially dangerous condition. Nitrox minimizes this risk by decreasing the nitrogen component and increasing the oxygen content relative to air, which translates into extended bottom time. More oxygen means less nitrogen, and less nitrogen means you can stay down longer.
However, it’s crucial to recognize that Nitrox diving introduces its own set of considerations and risks, distinct from those of traditional air diving. Navigating these waters requires a keen understanding of Nitrox and the ability to apply that knowledge safely.
What You Will Learn:
During the course, you’ll gain insights into the entire Nitrox spectrum, spanning oxygen levels from 22% to 40%. You’ll become well-versed in the selection of appropriate tools to enhance your Nitrox diving experience. If you’ve never used a dive computer before, fear not; the course covers this essential piece of equipment, ensuring you’re well-prepared to embrace Nitrox safely.
What’s In It For You?
✅ Extended Dive Time - Enjoy longer dives by reducing nitrogen buildup in your body.
✅ Enhanced Safety - Lower nitrogen levels mean less decompression stress.
✅ Specialized Training - Master the use of dive computers and gas analysis to ensure you never exceed your maximum operating depth (MOD).
✅ Smart Dive Planning - Learn the unique risks and benefits of Nitrox to plan dives that maximize bottom time without increasing oxygen toxicity.
Duration:
This specialty does not require any in-water training, it is more of a “dry workshop”.
