The Enriched Air Diver course offers a fantastic opportunity to enhance your diving skills and extend your dive times. By diving with enriched air (Nitrox), you’ll gain the ability to increase your no-stop time, particularly on repetitive dives. This course is designed for experienced divers looking to improve their diving experience and safety.
During the course, you will learn essential skills for diving with enriched air. First, you’ll receive a detailed briefing on how to manage oxygen exposure and ensure safe diving practices when using Nitrox. You will also practice analysing the oxygen content of your dive tank, which is crucial for calculating dive times accurately.
Once you’re comfortable with the theory and practical skills, you’ll set up your dive computer specifically for enriched air Nitrox, allowing you to safely increase your dive times. The day will include two dives, where you'll put your knowledge into action, exploring the vibrant underwater environment while benefiting from longer no-stop dive times.
The course takes place at Punta Tegge on the island of La Maddalena. Situated in the National Park of the Archipelago of La Maddalena, the area is renowned for its diverse marine life and crystal-clear waters, making it an ideal location for divers.
