Curso de Nitrox

Elevate your recreational diving with the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox course at Barracuda Lanzarote. This specialty certification is one of the most popular for good reason: it allows for extended no-decompression limits, meaning more bottom time on your dives. By utilizing enriched air nitrox, which has a higher percentage of oxygen, you can significantly reduce the risk of decompression sickness and enjoy longer explorations of Lanzarote's underwater world. This course focuses on the practical applications and theoretical knowledge required for safe nitrox diving.

During the course, you will learn essential skills such as accurately determining the oxygen content of your tank and planning dives using enriched air tables or dive computers. Understanding the potential hazards of oxygen toxicity is also a key component, ensuring you can dive with confidence. While the course typically includes two practical dives to apply your new skills, it can also be completed with a theoretical-only option if preferred. Barracuda Lanzarote, a PADI-certified dive center, offers this valuable specialty to enhance your overall diving experience.

This specialty is highly recommended for all recreational divers seeking to maximize their time underwater. The extended bottom times and increased safety margins provided by nitrox diving allow for a more fulfilling and enjoyable experience exploring sites like the famous Playa Chica or the diverse marine life found around the island. The PADI Enriched Air Nitrox certification is a straightforward yet highly beneficial step for any diver looking to get more out of their dives.
