Enriched Air Nitrox
Hawaiian Diving Adventures
Tasty oxygen, longer bottom times, and stylish green sticker. Welcome to the world of mixed gas diving.
When making deeper dives using air, many divers find that they reach their NDL (No Decompression Limit) requiring them to end the dive with air left in the tank. Using oxygen-enriched air can help extend bottom time with an additional safety factor. The nitrox diver specialty is one of the most useful and common scuba diver certifications and is often required for liveaboard diving situations.
The academic portion of this course covers the physiology of nitrox diving, the safety considerations and benefits of diving with nitrox, along with the important calculations of best mix, dose, and maximum operating depth. Practical training teaches divers to properly analyze, notate, and log nitrox dive cylinders, as well as how to safely plan and dive with enriched air mixtures of up to 40% oxygen.

HOW IT WORKS
The Enriched Air Nitrox course is largely academic. There is an online e-Learning component that needs to be done first. Then, we go dive nitrox. On the boat, you will analyze your cylinders, you’re your no-decompression limits, and your maximum operating depth.

You will earn the SSI Enriched Air Nitrox certification after completing this program.
TIMELINE
The Enriched Air Nitrox course is two dives and can be added to any dive trip. Analyzing, calculating no-deco and MOD limit is done during setup and surface intervals on te boat.
WHAT TO BRING
We encourage all divers to own their own mask, fins, and wetsuit, but it is not required. All the gear is included. We also recommend you bring a towel, sunglasses, and maybe a hat for the boat trips. We have a dry storage area on the boat. You are also welcome to bring your underwater camera, such as a GoPro, however we do recommend the Super Suit for your GoPro to work better underwater. Drinking water, fresh pineapple and snacks are provided, though you are welcome to bring your own beverages and munchies as well.
