The
future of recreational diving! You can choose between
diving with air or Nitrox
The healthier way of diving!
"Enriched air or so
called Nitrox" is respiratory air with a reduced
Nitrogen percentage. The usual air used in recreational
diving is composed of 21% Oxygen and 79% Nitrogen.
Most common Nitrox blends contain 32% and 36% of
Oxygen. Until now, Nitrox was almost exclusively
used in military and commercial diving while it
was too expensive for recreational diving. Thanks
to PADI and the development of the NRC Nitrox membrane,
enriched air is also achievable for us sportsdivers.
Because of the lower
Nitrogen content, the negative effects of it are
considerably reduced. The possibility of suffering
decompression sickness or 'the bends' is much lower.
Nitrogen narcosis is almost un-existing. We can
plan dives with a longer bottom time and a shorter
surface interval. Even doing more repetitive dives
on one day, you experience less fatigue.
Producing Nitrox is
considerably more expensive than filling tanks with
normal air. The maximum depth of our dives is slightly
reduced.
