Nitrox Course Online

Nitrox Course Online

The Enriched Air Nitrox course, or nitrox for short, will teach you how to safely plan and dive with enriched air mixtures of up to 40% oxygen. Diving on Koh Tao or anywhere with nitrox can increase your no-decompression limits, reduce the required length of your surface intervals when compared to air and increase your safety.  There are 2 nitrox courses the 32% and 40%, both have different SSI certifications but you can take the Enriched Air Nitrox 32 completely online, and if you dive with an SSI school before the end of 2022 you can get a free upgrade to Enriched Air Nitrox 40.

What is the course about?

The nitrox course is my second or third most suggested course after your open water course on Koh Tao.  The other is the advanced course.  By adding oxygen and reducing the nitrogen in your tank and thereby reducing the nitrogen load in your body, you gain longer diving times.  If you are doing many dives over a short period such as a holiday or a liveaboard a lower nitrogen load is especially desirable.
Enriched Air Nitrox 32 is an academic course only if you are able to go diving you will get a free upgrade to Enriches Air Nitrox 40 when you can start diving again.  In this course, you will learn to use and analyze enriched air as a breathing gas, plan your dive and dive your plan with nitrox, and understand how nitrox affects you beneath the surface.
