SSI / PADI CERTIFICATION
Optimize your dives and take your dive planning to the next level with the Nitrox Diving Course in Malta.
The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox Specialty allows you to dive using enriched air, reducing nitrogen absorption and extending your no-decompression limits. It’s the perfect certification for repetitive dives, liveaboards, and dive holidays.
You’ll learn how to calculate your Maximum Operating Depth (MOD), analyze your breathing gas before every dive, and correctly configure your dive computer for Nitrox diving.
The Enriched Air Nitrox course is a specialty that enables you to use oxygen-enriched air in your dives and the deep diving course.
During the training you will learn to calculate the maximum operating depth (MOD), manage oxygen exposure and correctly analyze a bottle before each dive.
It is the shortest of our diving courses: 4 to 6 hours of theory, with the option of adding a dive to apply it in the water. At the end you will obtain the official Enriched Air Nitrox certification.
Diving with Nitrox allows you to optimize your planning and make the most of each dive. The main advantages of enriched air are:
Malta is an ideal destination to take advantage of the benefits of diving with Nitrox thanks to the great variety of dive sites and the intense diving activity during stays of several days.
The use of enriched air allows you to optimize nitrogen management and reduce surface intervals, which is especially useful when you make several dives during a diving trip in Malta.
For this reason, the Nitrox course is one of the most recommended specialties for divers who make diving trips or days with several dives.
Our SSI Enriched Air Nitrox specialty course includes everything you need to safely use enriched air and plan your dives correctly.
Access to the official eLearning with specific content on Nitrox mixtures, oxygen management, MOD calculation and dive planning.
Practical review of calculations, bottle analysis and computer configuration under direct supervision.
Use an oxygen analyzer to verify the mixture before each dive. Option to add 1 dive with Nitrox.
Issuance of an internationally recognized certification that enables you to dive with enriched air.
To access the nitrox course, it is necessary to meet the following requirements:
Our team is certified and has real experience in advanced dive planning. Training is provided with a technical approach, clarity in the concepts, and practical application of the calculations.
We work with groups of maximum 6 people, which allows us to review calculations, planning, and mixture analysis individually, ensuring that you understand each procedure with precision.
We have regularly maintained and checked equipment, calibrated oxygen analyzers, and a professional environment that guarantees an organized, safe, and efficient experience.
