faq
Is the Basic Nitrox course suitable for beginner divers?
Yes. The only requirements are a basic diving certification and a minimum age of 15 years.
Which gas mixtures can I use after completing the course?
The certification qualifies you to dive using nitrox gas mixtures containing up to 40% oxygen.
Does the course include practical training dives?
Yes. The program includes a minimum of two training dives.
What will I learn during the course?
You will learn how to select the appropriate gas mixture, calculate the Maximum Operating Depth (MOD), plan dives, and correctly analyze nitrox.
Does nitrox always allow you to dive deeper?
No. Nitrox is primarily used to reduce nitrogen exposure and extend no-decompression limits. The maximum dive depth depends on the oxygen content of the gas mixture and its Maximum Operating Depth (MOD).
Can I independently analyze gas mixtures after completing the course?
Yes. One of the key components of the course is learning how to correctly analyze the gas mixture before every dive.
READY TO DIVE LONGER AND MORE CONSCIOUSLY?
Discover the benefits of nitrox, learn how to analyze your gas mixture correctly, and enhance the safety of your dives.
Basic Nitrox – Nitrox Diver PSAI at Demon Ray – more knowledge, better dive planning, and greater possibilities underwater.
