Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver FAQs

Being nitrox certified means a diver has completed the necessary training to safely use enriched air (nitrox) during scuba diving. Nitrox is a breathing gas with a higher oxygen content and lower nitrogen content than regular air, typically containing 32% or 36% oxygen. This composition reduces nitrogen absorption, which allows for longer bottom times and shorter surface intervals, making it particularly useful for repetitive dives. To earn nitrox certification, divers must complete a course offered by agencies like PADI or SSI, covering topics such as how to analyze and label nitrox tanks, adjust dive computers for nitrox use, and understand the benefits and risks of enriched air, including how to avoid oxygen toxicity. Certification is necessary to safely dive with nitrox and to obtain nitrox tank fills.
