DID YOU KNOW DXDIVERS WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN MAKING THE USE OF NITROX LEGAL?

WE HELPED MAKE HISTORY IN 1999, MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR RECREATIONAL, COMMERCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL DIVERS TO USE NITROX.

HOW LONG DOES THE COURSE TAKE?

The PADI Enriched Air course is really just the theory - meaning eLearning and a short one-hour session with an instructor. As soon as you finish the eLearning/book work, give us a call to schedule your session with an instructor. Once you finish that part, you will become a certified nitrox diver!

HOW OFTEN DO YOU OFFER THE NITROX COURSE?

We can do the nitrox course any time during store hours. Make sure to call us ahead of time at 954-420-0009 to book your one-hour classroom session with an instructor.

DOES EVERY DIVE SHOP OFFER AIR AND NITROX?

Simply put, no. Nitrox is not a universally available gas as it is more expensive and harder to source. Here at DXDivers we always have air and nitrox available for your convenience.

ARE ANY DIVES REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE ENRICHED AIR (NITROX) COURSE?

No, there are no dives required for this course. However, we suggest doing the course while taking PADI Advanced Open Water so you have a chance to use it on the dive.
