Nitrox Diving Course: Take Your Dives to the Next Level!
What Is the Nitrox Diving Course About?
Would you like to extend your bottom time and feel less fatigued after a day of diving? Then the Enriched Air (Nitrox) specialty course is the perfect option for you.
Nitrox diving involves using a breathing mix with a higher percentage of oxygen and less nitrogen than the regular atmospheric air found in standard recreational diving tanks. This difference in gas composition brings significant benefits to divers.
By reducing the amount of nitrogen you inhale, the buildup of this gas in body tissues decreases, allowing for longer dives within no-decompression limits. Additionally, the lower nitrogen content significantly reduces the risk of decompression sickness (also known as “the bends”), especially in scenarios involving multiple daily dives or intensive dive trips.
✅ Longer bottom times
✅ Less nitrogen accumulation in your body
✅ Ideal for dive trips with multiple daily dives
This course is perfect whether you’re a recreational diver or thinking about exploring deeper dive sites—or if you simply want to enhance your underwater experience.
🌊 Become a more prepared, safer, and efficient diver.
And the best part: the course is fast, simple, and 100% practical!
Book your spot now for the Nitrox course with Lux Divers and get ready to live an unforgettable underwater experience surrounded by the beauty and mystery of the ocean. Your next scuba adventure is waiting!
✅ Benefits of Diving With Nitrox:
🕒 More Bottom Time on Certain Dive Profiles
Enriched air reduces the amount of nitrogen that accumulates in your body during a dive. This allows you to stay underwater longer—especially at moderate depths—without exceeding no-decompression limits.
💤 Less Fatigue After Multiple Dives
Many divers report feeling less tired at the end of the day when diving with Nitrox. This is due to the reduced nitrogen absorption, which lowers physical stress on the body.
🔁 Faster Recovery Between Dives
By decreasing nitrogen load in the body, Nitrox also shortens the recovery time needed before your next dive. This means more efficient surface intervals and the ability to safely perform more dives in a single day.
🛡️ Greater Safety on Repetitive or Deeper Dives
