This class is a "Gas Gas Gas". Nitrox is not new, in fact it has been used in the Navy for over 20 years. The basic principal to Nitrox (Enriched Air) is by adding extra Oxygen to an air cylinder will decrease the amount of nitrogen in the cylinder. Nitrogen is what reduces our bottom time and can cause decompression sickness. Nitrox almost doubles the amount of bottom time you have depending on the mix. It is a cleaner mixture as it is double filtered and only goes into dedicated cylinders. This class is required before you can use Nitrox as there are some safety issues you need to learn about. I look at Nitrox like high octane gas- you get better mileage and its cleaner for your engine.

Minimum age is 16

$189 for the class on its own OR $119 if taken in conjunction with ANY CLASS WE OFFER, except Discover Scuba.
