Traditionally, becoming a Nitrox Diver required long hours in the classroom, learning how to work obscure formulas and use complex dive tables. No more. Through 1.877.SCUBA.USA/SDI’s on-line training program, you can complete most of the required academic study in the comfort and convenience of your home or office. And, as with all SDI programs, you’ll learn to dive Nitrox the modern way, using Nitrox-programmable dive computers instead of arcane formulas and complicated tables.

When you are done with the on-line academic portion for the course, , you can meet at the shop to review the academics and to take part in this brief, practical application session. Here you will get hands-on experience on how to Analyze, Label and Log a Nitrox fill. Working with Oxygen analyzers and Dive computers. We also will provide you with the opportunity to make one or more Nitrox dives.

When you have completed the academic review and practical application sessions, we will will order your permanent certification card. What could be easier? Nitrox opens a world of possibilities, leading to better, more enjoyable diving. What are you waiting for?

Openwater dives can be completed starting in the Spring at Dutch or on one of our Dive Trips

The greatest benefits of Nitrox are found between 0 and 130 feet, and require just a little more training and experience. Nitrox is another tool for divers to use. It is not designed to replace air. Nitrox is ideal for recreational diving. You can gain a safety advantage OR longer bottom times using Nitrox. In either case, many divers report less fatigue and a sense of well-being after Nitrox dives.
In addition to feeling better after diving, the decrease of of nitrogen accumulation also allows:

• Increased safety margins when using dive computers.
  
• A significant increase in bottom time no-decompression limits when using Nitrox tables.
  
• A reduction of decompression time if the no-decompression limits are exceeded.
  
• A reduction of possible decompression illness.
  
• Reduces the effects of Nitrogen Narcosis.
