Speciality
Course NITROX - Enriched Air
What is NITROX ?
Enriched Air (sometimes called “NITROX") means, that the
air contains more than 21 % Oxygen. In sport diving we use enriched air
with a maximum of 40 % oxygen.
Why NITROX ?
Divers use enriched air to increase the decompression limits compared
to the decompression limits of compressed air. When you dive with enriched
air a part of the nitrogen, which you would breath in under water, is
replaced by oxygen, so that you absorb less nitrogen than you would have
done on the same dive using compressed air.
Training Standards and Overview
This Course was designed to give scuba divers the possibility to qualify
for “no decompression dives” using “enriched air” (NITROX).
After the completion of the course you will be able to plan dives and
conduct dives safely using Enriched Air (NITROX) mixtures form 22 % to
40 %, especially for Enriched Air with 32 % and 36 % Oxygen.
The course comprises theory and certification.
Duration: maximum 2 days
Price: 79,00 Euro
