NITROX
LEARN TO EXTEND THE EXPIRIENCE
The Nitrox Diver course is our most popular speciality scuba diving course, and it’s easy to see why. Scuba diving with Enriched Air gives you more dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives.You can typically stay down longer and get back in the water sooner. No wonder many divers choose this as their very first specialty.
