"Have you ever dreamed of having longer no-decompression times to take photos or explore wrecks? Or do you simply want more safety in terms of decompression when diving?" Nitrox allows you to do just that. Due to the lower nitrogen content in the breathing gas, the body is also less stressed and desaturation times are drastically reduced. In the ENRICHED AIR NITROX program, you will learn the rules that must be taken into account when planning dives and using Nitrox, as well as the gas analysis of your tank. "Nitrox for free" is already available at many diving centres abroad. This means that you do not have to pay extra for the special gas mixture. However, this does require the appropriate training, i.e. every diving center wants to see a certificate. Only then will you be allowed to dive with Nitrox. Successful completion of this course entitles you to dive with Nitrox up to an oxygen content of 40%. Minimum number of participants: 2 Course price plus digital kit fee!

"Be prepared for the unexpected emergencies" When you get your driver's license for a car, you first take the first aid course and then the driving lessons. When diving, you first learn how to dive and then dive. But what happens if something goes wrong with your diving partner?
