What Your Day Looks Like

A typical day in a Nitrox course begins with an engaging classroom session where students learn the fundamentals of enriched air diving, including the benefits and risks associated with using Nitrox. Instructors cover topics such as oxygen exposure limits, the importance of analyzing tank contents, and how to calculate optimal dive profiles.
After the theoretical portion, students participate in hands-on training, where they practice using an oxygen analyzer to ensure their tanks are properly mixed.
