Diving with enriched air nitrox provides two main benefits: increased bottom time using nitrox tables, and decreased risk of DCS when using recreational air diving tables. This course is ideal for the recreational diver who wants to nitrox dive within the no-decompression limits. Students will learn physics and physiology of nitrox, how to analyze nitrox cylinders, plan nitrox dives, and other important skills.
Nitrox Diver Specialty includes an introduction to:
- Mixed gas theory (pertaining to oxygen and nitrogen)
- Proper testing techniques
- Equivalent Depth Dive Tables
- Partial Pressure calculations
- Maximum Operating Depth (MOD) calculations
- Proper tank markings
- Equipment requirements
- Advantages and disadvantages of diving Nitrox
- and more
Open water dives are optional for this course, since all learning is either theory or use of the oxygen analysers.
