Extend your dive time and increase your safety by taking the Nitrox Diver Specialty Course with Diving Sports Canada. Understanding enriched air diving will expand your recreational dives, and start setting you up if you are heading into technical dive training.

Who is this course for?

Once thought to be next to witchcraft, Enriched Air diving is now extremely popular worldwide for many reasons. It is safer when you are doing longer dives or multiple dives because of the lowered nitrogen intake. People tend to feel more refreshed because of the extra oxygen, and most importantly you are able to increase your NDL or No-Decompression Limit to have longer and more relaxing dives. If you enjoy deep wall dives, wreck dives that don’t start until a little deeper, or just want to be safer by reducing your nitrogen loading and stress, Nitrox is what you want to be diving with.

What You Will Learn:

With the Enriched Air Diver Specialty you will learn how to choose the appropriate blend for each dive, how to follow your depth limits and why, how to notice signs of oxygen toxicity, and how to properly analyze and label your tanks. The course consists of an online eLearning course to understand the theory of diving Nitrox, and an in-class session to practice analyzing and labeling as well as review with your instructor.

Course Description:

You will receive an eLearning code for the knowledge development and exam to complete before coming for class.

You will go through proper analyzing techniques, labeling, and sign out procedures. You will also get to see several different mixing/filling systems that we have and learn the benefits of each

You also have the option to add the EANx specialty to another course and you will be able to do a dive on nitrox.
