SSI Advanced Adventurer & Nitrox Diver 2 Days – 6 Dives

SSI Advanced and Nitrox!

Extra Nitrox tanks are 300 Baht per fill.

So, what exactly is Enriched Air / Nitrox?

The term “Nitrox” refers to any gas mixture composed (excluding trace gases) of nitrogen and oxygen; this actually includes normal air which is approximately 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, plus about 1% inert gases, primarily argon. The most common use of nitrox mixtures containing higher than normal levels of oxygen is in scuba diving, where the reduced percentage of nitrogen is advantageous in reducing nitrogen take up in the body’s tissues and so extending the possible dive time, and/or reducing surface interval time and maybe even reducing the risk of decompression sickness. Many divers report feeling less tired when using Nitrox, though there has been no real study to prove this.

Enriched Air requires the use of special tanks due to the higher than normal oxygen content, and also the use of special dive tables that you learn about in the course. You must be very careful to check your oxygen content before diving and use the right tables. Most dive computers will have the ability to account for Nitrox use, you just need to program the correct oxygen percentage (commonly between 32 – 36% for recreational dives). Learn all about it with the SSI Enriched Air Diver course!
