Have you ever dreamed of having longer no-decompression limits to take pictures or explore a wreck? Did you ever want to be safer while diving concerning the potential risk of decompression sickness?
Nitrox is the key.
“EAN Nitrox” is defined as a mixture of nitrogen to oxygen in which the concentration of oxygen is greater than that found in air; while diving with Nitrox, your body will work less and desaturation times will be reduced increasing your safety and bottom time underwater, and reducing fatigue that accumulates with multiple dives. This course teaches all the necessary rules for planning dives safely with Nitrox. An important key point is analyzing your own tank prior to any Nitrox dive. Sign up today to learn about nitrox and the benefits of breathing it.
