“NITROX” is a term which has been around in scuba diving for a number of years, and that has aroused a large number of different views. |
|
|
Used in the beginning as a “decompression gas” fortechnical dives, the gas was viewed as a tool only usable by professional, technically orientated divers. |
|
|
The advantages of NITROX dives are, however, more substantial since the gas allows for a reduced nitrogen intake when existing dive profiles are retained. |
|
|
Compressed air was, and still is, not the best but onlythe most commonly used and least expensive gas for scuba divers.Only few training opportunities, low availability, and high prices have also contributed to prevent the spread of NITROX in scuba diving. |
|
|
However, many things are starting to change in this respect. Today, NITROX is hardly more expensive than “normal” compressed air and readily available in most professional diving centers worldwide. |

After attending a NITROX course with one of our Enriched-Air-Diver-Specialty Instructors, certified NITROX divers will be supplied with NITROX FOR FREE for all their dives with AFRICAN DIVERS NUWEIBA, now and in future visits. |
