Nitrox

Elevate your diving experience with the Nitrox specialty course at Sanctum Dive Indonesia. This certification focuses on the safe and effective use of Enriched Air Nitrox, a breathing gas mixture offering a higher oxygen percentage and lower nitrogen content than standard air. The course, typically completed in one day, includes two practical dives utilizing nitrox. By mastering nitrox, you can significantly extend your bottom times and reduce decompression obligations, allowing for longer and more frequent dives, a benefit particularly appreciated by underwater photographers and enthusiasts.

Participants will gain a thorough understanding of nitrox diving's advantages, including extended no-decompression limits, while also learning to manage the potential risks associated with higher oxygen concentrations. Key topics covered include gas blending procedures, understanding oxygen partial pressure limits, and the critical skill of analyzing your tank's gas mixture to ensure safety. Sanctum Dive offers this specialty with options for a wet course, priced at IDR 3,400,000 and including two dives, or a dry course (theory and certification only) for IDR 2,300,000.
