Extend Your Bottom Time with the SSI Enriched Air Nitrox Course

Maximise your dive time and reduce fatigue with the SSI Enriched Air Nitrox Course. Unlike the SSI Nitrox Diver (dry course), this training includes two open water dives, allowing you to experience the real-world benefits of diving with nitrox under professional supervision.

Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) contains a higher oxygen percentage than standard air, reducing nitrogen absorption and allowing for longer no-decompression limits. This course is perfect for divers who want to increase their bottom time, shorten surface intervals, and enhance overall dive safety.

Upon completion, you will be certified to use nitrox mixes up to 40% oxygen, opening up new diving opportunities worldwide.

What’s the Difference Between the Nitrox Courses?

Course Name	Dives Included?	Certification Scope
SSI Nitrox Diver (DRY)	❌ No dives	Theory-based certification for EANx up to 40%
SSI Enriched Air Nitrox (WET)	✅ 2 Open Water Dives	Practical experience using EANx up to 40%

If you want hands-on experience diving with enriched air, this is the right course for you!

What to Expect in the Enriched Air Nitrox Course

The course consists of:

Theory & eLearning – Learn the benefits and risks, and dive planning for EANx diving.
Nitrox Tank Analysis – Hands-on practice analysing oxygen content in your tank.
2 Open Water Dives – Gain real-world experience using enriched air nitrox in actual dive scenarios.
Certification to Use Up to 40% Oxygen – Recognised worldwide, allowing you to dive with nitrox anywhere.

By completing this practical nitrox course, you will gain confidence in using enriched air and learn how to extend your dive time safely.
