Enriched Air Nitrox Diver Course
Duration:

ExcludedRequirements:
- AOWD certification
Overview:
The Enriched Air Nitrox Diver Course teaches you to dive with air containing up to 40% oxygen instead of the standard 21%. Less nitrogen means longer no-stop dive times, shorter surface intervals, and less fatigue after multiple dives a day—which is exactly why it's one of the most popular specialty courses among liveaboard divers and anyone doing back-to-back dives in the Red Sea. By the end of the course, your main takeaway is simple: you'll know how to safely plan, analyze, and dive with Nitrox to get more bottom time out of every dive.
What You'll Learn
- Oxygen analysis — using an oxygen analyzer to measure and verify gas percentages in scuba cylinders
- Cylinder handling — learning proper cylinder labeling, markings, and gas handling procedures
- Dive planning calculations — calculating Maximum Operating Depth (MOD) and Equivalent Air Depth (EAD)
- Dive computer setup — configuring and programming dive computers for Nitrox mixes
Course Schedule
Morning — Theory Classroom session covering the benefits of Nitrox, oxygen exposure limits, and how enriched air affects your dive planning.
Midday — Hands-On Practical: Learn to use an oxygen analyzer to test your tank, and practice setting your dive computer for a Nitrox mix.
Afternoon — Review & Certification: Final knowledge review, Q&A, and issuing of your NDL Nitrox certification — no dives required.
