Enriched Air Certification $200
What is Enriched Air/Nitrox?
Enriched air, or nitrox, is a great tool to help you enjoy longer dives. Enriched air makes this possible because it contains less nitrogen and a higher percentage of oxygen than normal air. This means that you absorb less nitrogen as you dive, giving you more bottom time!
