Nitrox Courses and Dives

Nitrox also called "Enriched Air Nitrox", "EANx", or "Safe Air" has been in use for over 30 years by navy divers, professional divers, and research divers. Nitrox is nothing else but regular air, where part of the nitrogen is replaced by oxygen. Most frequently used are EANx32 and EANx36, Nitrox with oxygen content of 32% and 36%, respectively.

The relative increase of oxygen reduces the absorption of nitrogen in our tissues, thereby safely prolonging the non-deco limit compared to regular air. The following table exemplifies the advantages of Nitrox:

depth
non-deco
limit air
non-deco
limit EANx32
non-deco
limit EANx36
18 m 56 min 95 min 125 min
22m 37 min 60 min 70 min
26m 27 min 40 min 50 min


Compared to regular air, non-deco limits are nearly doubled with nitrox.
