What is NITROX ?
Nitrox is a mixture of air and oxygen also called EANx (Enriched Air Nitrox). Adding oxygen to the mixture reduces the proportion of nitrogen which leads to a variety of advantages. But it also brings in some disadvantages or risks. Therefore you will have to take a course to learn about the risks and be able to avoid them by planning and calculating your dives with Nitrox.
What are the advantages of diving with NITROX ?
longer bottom time, longer dives
less surface interval between two dives
longer repetitive dives
less interval before flying
reduced risk of nitrogen narcosis
reduced risk of decompression accidents
Prerequisites :
Subject :
This course takes you back into the principles of physics, that you just scratched the surface of on your first diving course. You will have to learn and understand the laws of Boyle-Mariotte, Henry and Dalton to be able to calculate all aspects of a dive with Nitrox, up to 40% Oxygen, to reduce risks and to prevent accidents.
After one day of theory you will be prepared to do your dives with Nitrox. Under supervision you will do two 'fun-dives' with EAN 32 and EAN 36.
Duration :
2 days, one day of theory and 2 dives with Nitrox on the second day. Dives don't have to be taken in one day.
