Why every diver should learn nitrox
Nitrox is, without exaggeration, the single most useful specialty in recreational diving. With 32% oxygen instead of air's 21%, your no-decompression bottom time at 25 m roughly doubles, your surface intervals shrink, and you'll feel less tired after a day of diving. Every multi-day trip and every liveaboard becomes more enjoyable. The certification is for life, the surcharge per fill is small, and the upside is enormous.
FAQ
Do I need to do dives for this course?
No — Nitrox is a theory-only specialty for divers who already hold Open Water or higher. You can complete it in a single morning.
How much extra do nitrox fills cost?
We charge a €8 surcharge per nitrox tank vs. an air tank. On a typical day of 2 dives, that's €16 — usually paid back in extra bottom time within the first dive.
Can I dive the same day I get certified?
Absolutely. We can add a 2-dive boat trip the same afternoon or next morning for €50 (+ €10 equipment rental + €8 per nitrox fill). Best way to feel the difference immediately.
