This course is designed to be an introduction to qualify recreational divers to use enriched air ("nitrox") for no stop recreational diving. The benefits of using enriched air as a diver are huge, as it can allow you to stay under water for longer before reaching any no decompression limit. For example, and 18 metre dive on air allows you to dive for 56 minutes using the standard RDP. The same dive using a 36% mix of enriched air allows you to stay underwater for over 2 hours! The program addresses the use of enriched air with 22 percent to 40 percent oxygen, with the emphasis on using nitrox compatible dive computers.
