Dry theory session
Our Nitrox (EANx) classroom session is a focused one-hour lesson that gives you the essential knowledge you need to dive safely with enriched air. You’ll learn how Nitrox differs from regular air, the benefits—like extended bottom times and reduced fatigue—and how to manage important considerations such as oxygen exposure and toxicity limits.
Your instructor will walk you through using dive computers and tables for Nitrox planning, as well as how to analyze your gas mix and choose the right blend for your dive. By the end of the session, you’ll feel confident in planning and executing your enriched air dives safely and effectively.
