Enriched air? Enriched with what? OXYGEN? Enriched air (NITROX) is air in which part of the nitrogen has been replaced with oxygen. Less nitrogen means slower saturation of the body with this gas, i.e. longer diving. In recreational diving, NITROX is used to extend the no-decompression time at a given depth, which allows the diver to stay longer e.g. by taking a movie shot, composing an epic photo, or looking for a turtle in an underwater meadow. Using enriched air also shortens surface intervals for repetitive dives, and this allows you to wait less for the next dive without putting the diver in danger. During the course you will learn how to plan diving on NITROX yourself using tables and a dive computer, analyze the composition of the breathing mix in the tank and methods of its preparation. You will also learn about procedures, safety rules, benefits of using NITROX as well as threats.
