About the specialty

More time on every dive

Enriched air nitrox has more oxygen and less nitrogen than ordinary air. Using it means you absorb less nitrogen, which gives you longer no-stop times on many dives.

On the course you learn to analyse your own tank, set your dive computer for nitrox, and plan your dives safely.

Diving with nitrox

More about the Nitrox course

Most diving on the reefs around Hurghada happens at moderate depths, which is exactly where nitrox makes the biggest difference to how long you can stay.

What nitrox is

A breathing gas with a higher share of oxygen than air. Less nitrogen means longer no-stop times.

What you learn

How to analyse a tank, record it, set your computer, and stay within safe limits.

The theory

PADI eLearning is included, so you can do the reading at home.
