Enriched Air Nitrox

Service Description

Want to make the most of your repetitive diving? The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox specialty teaches you how to safely plan and conduct dives using enriched air, commonly known as Nitrox. At Red Sea Marine Diving Center, you'll learn how Nitrox differs from regular air, how to identify and analyze your breathing gas, and how to plan dives using the appropriate oxygen exposure limits. Your SSI instructor will guide you through the important principles of Nitrox diving, including oxygen concentration, maximum operating depth, dive planning, cylinder analysis, labeling, and the procedures you need to follow before entering the water. Nitrox can be particularly useful for divers doing multiple dives over several days. When used correctly within its limits, enriched air can allow a diver to plan longer no-decompression times at certain depths compared with breathing air, depending on the gas mixture and dive profile. At Red Sea Marine, we focus on making the theory easy to understand and directly relevant to real diving. You'll learn not only how to use Nitrox, but also why the limits matter and how to make responsible decisions when planning your dives. Sharm El Sheikh is an excellent destination for divers who want to put their Nitrox knowledge into practice, with the opportunity for multiple dives across the area's beautiful reefs and dive sites. Whether you're planning several days of diving in the Red Sea, preparing for repetitive dives, or simply want to add another useful skill to your diving knowledge, SSI Enriched Air Nitrox is a valuable specialty for any active recreational diver. Understand your gas, plan your dives, and make every dive count.
