SSI Nitrox Specialty
SSI Nitrox Specialty Course with Coral Coast Divers
Extend Your Bottom Time and Enhance Your Safety with Coral Coast Divers
Maximizing your underwater adventure is what every diver dreams of. With the SSI Nitrox Specialty Course offered by Coral Coast Divers, you can make that dream a reality. Nitrox, also known as Enriched Air Nitrox (EAN), allows you to dive longer and safer, giving you more time to explore the underwater wonders without increasing your risk of decompression sickness. This course is perfect for divers of all levels looking to extend their bottom time and enhance their diving experiences.
Why Choose the SSI Nitrox Specialty Course?
1. Longer Bottom Times One of the most significant benefits of diving with Nitrox is the extended bottom time. Nitrox contains a higher percentage of oxygen and a lower percentage of nitrogen compared to regular air, which means your body absorbs less nitrogen. This allows you to stay underwater longer, especially on repetitive dives, without reaching your no-decompression limit.
2. Reduced Fatigue Many divers report feeling less fatigued after diving with Nitrox compared to diving with regular air. The reduced nitrogen absorption not only allows for longer dives but also helps in reducing post-dive fatigue, making your overall diving experience more enjoyable.
3. Enhanced Safety Diving with Nitrox reduces the risk of nitrogen narcosis and decompression sickness, making it a safer option for deeper and longer dives. This increased safety margin is particularly beneficial for older divers or those who may be more susceptible to the effects of nitrogen.
4. Greater Flexibility in Dive Planning With Nitrox certification, you gain more flexibility in your dive planning. You can choose between extending your bottom time or increasing your safety margin by diving within the no-decompression limits of air dives. This flexibility allows you to tailor your diving experience to your personal preferences and dive objectives.
5. Pathway to Advanced Diving The SSI Nitrox Specialty Course is a foundational step towards more advanced diving certifications. Many advanced courses and diving activities, such as technical diving, require Nitrox certification. Completing this course opens up a wider range of diving opportunities and prepares you for future diving adventures.
