Nitrox Plus

Course Overview

The Nitrox Plus course teaches you to safely plan and conduct dives using enriched air nitrox with up to 100% oxygen for accelerated decompression. You will learn advanced nitrox theory, gas analysis, oxygen exposure management, and emergency procedures for technical diving. The course combines eLearning, equipment workshops, and at least two open water dives under direct instructor supervision.

Quality over Quantity — the focus is on safe, correct procedures, redundancy, and real-world problem-solving. You will demonstrate competence in all required skills before certification.
