SSI Enriched Air Nitrox (32%) Course
Maximize your bottom time and get back in the water sooner.
Have you ever had to end a dive early while exploring a wreck or a vibrant reef because you reached your no-decompression limit, even though you still had plenty of air left?
The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox (up to 32%) specialty is your solution. By replacing some of the nitrogen in your scuba tank with oxygen, you absorb less nitrogen during your dive. This means significantly longer allowable bottom times, shorter surface intervals, and a reduced risk of decompression sickness. It is the perfect certification for liveaboards, multi-dive days, and getting the most out of your upcoming dive trips.
