Description

The Scuba Diving International (SDI) Computer Nitrox course is designed to introduce divers to alternative breathing mixes. Divers will be trained in the benefits, hazards and proper procedures for using nitrox mixes. The SDI Computer Nitrox Course is also available on-line for those who prefer to complete the course work at home and at their own pace. Please see Adventure Divers for more details.

What is Nitrox and why use it?
Nitrox is Enriched Air. The air surrounding you is made up of primarily 2 parts Nitrogen and Oxygen. Normal air has about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other trace gases. The typical method of making Nitrox is by increasing the percentage of oxygen from 22%-40% with normal air. You will see the term Enriched Air Nitrox used most often.

Divers use Nitrox to increase their bottom time and reduce the amount of nitrogen absorbed into their body. Less nitrogen means less chance of decompression sickness.

 

At the successful completion of the course you will receive a SDI Computer Nitrox Diver Certification card which is valid for life and recognized worldwide.
