Dive Longer. Dive Safer. Dive Smarter

If you want more time underwater and less time sitting on the boat, the Enriched Air Nitrox course at Central Coast Divers is the upgrade every serious diver should complete.

Nitrox allows you to extend your bottom time, increase your safety margins, and shorten your surface intervals. In simple terms, you get more diving in every day — which is exactly why Nitrox has become the preferred gas for modern recreational divers, dive travel, and liveaboards worldwide.

At Central Coast Divers, our Nitrox Program is designed to quickly give you the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to plan and dive safely with enriched air mixtures up to 32% or 40% oxygen.

During the course you will learn:

• The science behind enriched air and oxygen exposure
• How Nitrox increases no-decompression limits
• How to analyse and verify oxygen percentages in cylinders
• Correct dive computer setup for Nitrox diving
• Safe dive planning with enriched air mixtures

Nitrox is the smart diver’s choice, especially for:

• Multi-dive days
• Dive holidays and liveaboards
• Divers wanting more conservative dive profiles
• Anyone looking to reduce post-dive fatigue

Once completed, you’ll earn your globally recognised SSI Enriched Air Nitrox certification, allowing you to fill and dive with Nitrox anywhere in the world.

Spots are limited and courses fill quickly.

Book your Nitrox course with Central Coast Divers today and start enjoying longer dives this weekend.

More time underwater starts with one decision — enrol now.

 Taking only half a day to complete, we normally incorporate this specialty into a package with other courses, like the Open Water course or the Advanced Adventurer course.

Just like air, Nitrox is an air mixture of oxygen and nitrogen. However, in a nitrox gas mixture we will increase the oxygen percentage in a mixture to more than 21%, causing it to be “richer”.  

Diving with enriched air can increase your no-decompression limits, increase your safety and reduce the required length of your surface intervals when compared to air.

You will earn the Enriched Air Nitrox 40% certification after completing this program.
