Becoming a Nitrox Diver

Take advantage of your exploration dives to take a course with our specialized Nitrox instructors, certified Cmas Ssi or Padi, at our diving center in Khao Lak.

What is Nitrox ?

Nitrox, also known as EAN for Enriched Air Nitrox, is an oxygen-enriched air mixture.
While air contains 21% oxygen, the most commonly used enriched mixes are EAN32% or EAN36%.

Nitrox offers numerous advantages in terms of safety, comfort and dive optimization.

The main advantages will enable you to
– increase your dive times and safety margins as a function of depth
– make longer dives, depending on depth and mix used
– shorten your surface intervals
– reduce fatigue after several dives

The Cmas Ssi Padi Nitrox Diving course we offer from Khao Lak is accessible directly after Open Water or Level 1.
It will enable you to use this mixture enriched with up to 40% Oxygen while making the most of your exploration dives.
