SDI Computer Nitrox Course
sDI Computer Nitrox Course
Dive longer and enhance safety with a Nitrox certification, the choice gas for discerning divers.
The SDI Computer Nitrox course equips you with the knowledge of how to safely harness Nitrox’s benefits, enriching your dives with gas mixtures from 22% to 40% oxygen.
Nitrox depending on the percentage gives you the ability to increase bottom time or have shorter surface intervals due to the higher oxygen content.
This mean your body absorbs less nitrogen than it would on a standard air mixture of 21% Oxygen.
This makes nitrox the perfect gas for repetitive dives and is why so many dive centre holiday destinations offer it free when you book a dive package with them.
What Is Nitrox?
If you are a new diver, you might be asking yourself, what is Nitrox? Nitrox is a breathing gas with more oxygen and less nitrogen.
The magic of Nitrox lies in its reduced nitrogen content compared to standard compressed air. Excessive nitrogen buildup can lead to decompression sickness (DCS), a potentially dangerous condition.
Nitrox minimizes this risk by decreasing the nitrogen component and increasing the oxygen content relative to air, which translates into extended bottom time.
More oxygen means less nitrogen, and less nitrogen means you can stay down longer.
However, it’s crucial to recognize that Nitrox diving introduces its own set of considerations and risks, distinct from those of traditional air diving.
Navigating these waters requires a keen understanding of Nitrox and the ability to apply that knowledge safely.
