WHY NITROX?

​

Enriched air, commonly known as Nitrox, is a blend of oxygen and nitrogen (the same as normal air, but with a higher oxygen percentage). This means that during a dive you are exposed to less nitrogen at a given depth, giving you more no decompression time. This enables you to stay down longer and get back into the water sooner between dives.

​
