Breathing Nitrox underwater has huge benefits for divers. It can extend our allowed time underwater and also reduce the time we must spend on the surface between dives. Therefore, it is no surprise that this makes it PADI's most popular speciality course.
The price covers the theory only option which consists of completing the required online material and some time with an instructor.
You will learn to manage oxygen exposure safely, analyse the contents of your cylinder and correctly use your dive computer with Nitrox. Dives using Nitrox are optional at an additional cost. -

The course consists of at least 2 dives over 1 day, but can be extended to a 2 day course should both student and instructor find it necessary.
