Scuba Schools International (SSI) presents the Enriched Air Nitrox course, a comprehensive program designed to elevate the diving experience by introducing divers to the benefits of breathing a higher oxygen concentration mix while underwater. This specialized course empowers divers with the knowledge and skills to safely utilize Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) and maximize their bottom time.
The Enriched Air Nitrox course focuses on the principles of enriched air diving, where the percentage of oxygen in the breathing gas is increased beyond that of standard air. SSI instructors guide participants through essential topics, including the physiological effects of increased oxygen, dive planning, gas analysis, and the use of specialized dive tables and dive computers tailored for Enriched Air Nitrox diving.
Divers undertaking the Enriched Air Nitrox course will gain a thorough understanding of the advantages associated with using higher oxygen mixes, such as extended no-decompression limits, reduced risk of decompression sickness, and quicker surface intervals between dives. The course also covers safety considerations, emphasizing the importance of proper gas blending, equipment compatibility, and oxygen exposure limits.
Practical aspects of the Enriched Air Nitrox course include hands-on training in analyzing and labeling Nitrox cylinders, as well as configuring dive computers or tables for Enriched Air Nitrox dives. With a strong emphasis on safety protocols and dive planning, participants emerge from the course equipped to incorporate Enriched Air Nitrox into their diving practices responsibly and confidently.
SSI's Enriched Air Nitrox course is suitable for divers of all levels, from recreational to professional, offering a valuable skill set that enhances the overall diving experience. Whether diving for leisure or pursuing further training, divers completing this course gain a versatile tool that opens up new possibilities in terms of dive planning, extended bottom time, and optimizing decompression practices. With SSI's Enriched Air Nitrox course, divers embark on a journey to dive deeper, stay longer, and explore the underwater world with increased efficiency and safety.
