The Science Behind Safer, Longer Dives

Enriched Air Nitrox has more oxygen and less nitrogen. This allows you to stay longer at depth with less fatigue after multiple dives.

More time underwater and shorter surface intervals mean better dive days. Nitrox is essential for liveaboards or multi-dive vacations.

Whether you’re diving in Islas Catalina, Isla Murciélago, or abroad, Nitrox certification opens doors to safer, more efficient underwater adventures worldwide.
