Nitrox training

Nitrox training is a course that teaches scuba divers how to safely use breathing gas mixtures with a higher oxygen content than regular air, typically 32% or 36%. This increased oxygen level can extend bottom times and reduce nitrogen absorption, decreasing the risk of decompression sickness. The training covers proper planning, equipment considerations, and safety protocols to prevent oxygen toxicity, which can be dangerous at higher oxygen levels. Overall, Nitrox training equips divers with the knowledge to enhance their dives by optimizing gas mixtures while ensuring safety.
