Nitrox

The PADI Enriched Air Nitrox specialty course is one of the most sought-after certifications, designed to significantly extend your bottom time and enhance safety margins on multi-dive days. By breathing air with a higher oxygen concentration and consequently less nitrogen, divers can reduce the risk of decompression sickness and push their no-decompression limits further. NX21 Buceo offers this essential specialty, enabling you to maximize your underwater exploration and minimize the physiological impact of nitrogen absorption. This course is a logical next step for any diver looking to gain more from their diving adventures.

This program delves into the core theory of enriched air nitrox, focusing on understanding critical oxygen limits and the principles of calculating safe gas mixes. You will learn to meticulously analyze the oxygen content of your scuba tanks and determine the appropriate depth limits for your chosen nitrox blend. The curriculum emphasizes knowledge development, with minimal in-water skills required, making it an efficient way to upgrade your diving capabilities. Upon successful completion, you will be certified to plan and execute dives using enriched air nitrox, a valuable skill for any serious diver.
