CURSO DE ESPECIALIDAD NITROX

Elevate your diving capabilities with the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox specialty course offered by Dive Dive Company. This certification is globally recognized and essential for divers looking to maximize their bottom time and minimize surface intervals. The course focuses on the safe planning and execution of dives using enriched air with up to 40% oxygen, a skill highly valued on liveaboards and at dive centers worldwide. You will learn how to analyze your gas mix, mark your tank, and understand the physiological benefits of breathing nitrox.

The theoretical portion of this specialty is conveniently delivered through PADI's digital platform, requiring only a few hours of self-study. This is followed by a practical session at the dive center, where you'll master essential skills like gas analysis and tank preparation. While an open water dive is optional, the core competencies of planning and gas management are thoroughly covered, ensuring you are well-prepared for nitrox diving. The course is open to divers aged 12 and above, holding a PADI Open Water Diver certification or equivalent, and requires a medical declaration.

Dive Dive Company provides this valuable training with a commitment to diver education, as evidenced by their PADI certification. The price for this specialty starts at EUR 119. While the data for specific dive sites and typical marine life is not detailed here, the practical application of nitrox diving is universally beneficial, especially for those undertaking multiple dives per day or following 'U-shaped' dive profiles. By absorbing less nitrogen, divers can extend their bottom times or shorten surface intervals compared to conventional air dives.

This specialty is a logical next step for many divers, enhancing their ability to plan and execute dives more efficiently. It complements other specialties and opens up more dive planning possibilities. For those interested in the technical aspects of diving, this course can be combined with the Gas Blender specialty. Practical sessions are available daily, ensuring flexibility for your schedule. If you haven't dived in six months or more, a dive refresh is recommended prior to starting.
