Enriched Air Nitrox

The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox specialty course at Underseas Sports is designed to teach divers how to safely plan and conduct dives using enriched air mixtures, specifically up to 40% oxygen. This program significantly extends no-decompression limits and enhances underwater safety compared to standard air. Upon successful completion, you will earn the SSI Enriched Air Nitrox 22% or 40% certification. The curriculum covers the fundamental principles of partial pressure gas blending and how to determine the Maximum Operating Depth (MOD) for enriched air dives to prevent oxygen toxicity. A critical practical skill taught is the proper analysis of gas mixtures in dive tanks, ensuring accurate measurement of oxygen content and correct cylinder labeling for diver safety and compliance. Underseas Sports offers this course on a rolling basis, requiring only a minimum of one student, ensuring flexibility for your certification journey. The course includes online training materials, classroom instruction, a final test, and your official certification card.

This specialty certification is a logical next step for divers looking to advance their technical diving education, particularly those interested in gas management.
