Nitrox Certification (EANx or Enriched Air Diver) SSI, or NAUI or PADI $199.00

Many claim that Nitrox will get rid of the after dive headaches and the tired dragging feeling. While we cannot claim that is true scientifically, we can state scientifically you will get more bottom time especially on successive repetitive dives.  Nitrox gas also lessens your chance of getting Narcosis as well. Nitrox is great for deep diving to about 100ft. Nitrox is the 2-3 tank shipwreck diver’s dream gas and simply has a bit more Oxygen in the tank. There are things that happen when you add more oxygen that add considerations which is what this training is all about. Certification price above includes your books, tables, training and dives. Only 1 dive is required for this certification and it can be completed in one day. We usually recommend a 2-tank boat dive. Minimal discounted boat fees or state park fees (average $6 day) are additional/optional, however everything else is included, your gear too! Click here for more information or to purchase.
