Enriched Air Nitrox Course
ENRICHED AIR NITROX DIVING COURSE OVERVIEW- DIVE LONGER AND SAFER
Are you ready to extend your bottom time and reduce fatigue during your dives? The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox Course is the key to unlocking these benefits. Diving with enriched air (also known as nitrox) allows you to spend more time underwater by reducing nitrogen absorption in your body, making it a popular choice for divers seeking safer and more efficient dives.
Why Choose the SSI Enriched Air Nitrox Course?
Enriched air diving has become a game-changer for recreational and professional divers alike. Here’s why:
- Dive Longer: Nitrox allows for extended no-decompression limits, meaning you can spend more time exploring wrecks, reefs, and other underwater wonders.
- Dive Safer: Lower nitrogen levels reduce the risk of decompression sickness, especially during repetitive dives.
- Reduce Fatigue: Many divers report feeling less tired after diving with nitrox compared to regular air.
Whether you’re a frequent diver or planning multiple dives on your next trip, learning to use nitrox can significantly enhance your diving experience.

Do I need to be able to swim to scuba dive?
A question that we are constantly asked at Ocean Tribe is “Do I need to be able to swim to scuba dive?”. This is a more complicated answer than a simple yes or no, as it really depends on the experience you are looking to have.
If you are after getting your Open Water Diver licence or any other scuba diving certification then the straight answer in yes. On the entry level Open Water Diver and Scuba Diver courses there are swim and floating tests that you need to be able to accomplish in order to earn the dive certification. On the Open Water courses this is a 200m swim and a 10 minute tread or float.
