ENRICHED AIR (NITROX)

Shallower for Longer- Enriched Air SCUBA Training

Enriched Air (EAN) commonly referred to as Nitrox, usually refers to a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen with a higher percentage of oxygen than normal air. The two most commonly used mixtures are EANx 32 and EANx 36 with 32% and 36% oxygen concentration, compared to 21% in normal air. Used by scientific and naval divers since the 1960s, Nitrox allows divers to safely extend their no decompression limits (see table).

Moving On

 

While everybody else is hanging on the deco line or is back on the boat, you'll be able to carry on exploring and having fun. While Nitrox considerably extends bottom times between the 20-30m range, why not enroll on the GUE 'Recreational Triox' and 'Technical Diver 1' courses to really extend your depths and bottom times.
