About
Do you want to increase your bottom time, shorten your surface interval and improve safety margins on your dives? This specialty course will teach you dive planning, physics and physiology of Enriched Air Nitrox up to 40% oxygen.
We offer this specialty course with or without dives. If you are just looking for theory and practical skills to analyse and mark your cylinder and you feel confident going on from there on your own, the no-dive Nitrox course is for you.
