Enriched Air Nitrox Diver Course OCTAVEX
Diver Course | Enriched Air Nitrox Diver
Longer bottom time, less fatigue, smarter diving
The Enriched Air Nitrox Diver course is one of the most popular and practical diving specialties for divers who want to increase their bottom time while enjoying greater safety and comfort during their dives. In this course, you will learn how to safely and effectively use Nitrox—an enriched air mixture with a higher oxygen percentage than regular air—through proper planning and controlled diving practices.
What Is Nitrox and Why Is It Important?
Nitrox is a breathing gas mixture of oxygen and nitrogen with a lower nitrogen content than regular air. This results in:
- Reduced nitrogen absorption in the body
- Increased no-decompression limits
- Less post-dive fatigue
- Improved safety during repetitive dives
For these reasons, Nitrox is a preferred choice among professional divers, advanced recreational divers, and multi-day dive trips.
What Will You Learn in the Enriched Air Nitrox Diver Course?
- Understanding Enriched Air Nitrox and how it differs from regular air
- Different Nitrox mixtures (EANx) and their applications
- Calculating Maximum Operating Depth (MOD)
- Managing oxygen exposure
- Proper use of oxygen analyzers
- Setting dive computers for Nitrox
- Safe dive planning with NitroxCommon mistakes and critical safety considerations
