Check the schedule page for upcoming classes.
Air is not always the best breathing gas for divers. By enriching the air with extra oxygen, the diver can reduce the chances of decompression illness while staying longer at specific depths.
Oxygen Enriched Air (Nitrox) is considered to be an essential part of the divers "toolbox". This course teaches the student how to safely plan for, blend and use nitrox for commercial scuba diving operations.
