Commercial/OCCupational NITROX Diver

(Also known as Oxygen Enriched Air Diver)

Air is not always the best breathing gas for divers. By enriching the air with extra oxygen, the diver can reduce the chances of decompression illness while staying longer at specific depths.

Course Duration: 3 days (8 hours/day)
Pre-requisites: Commercial Scuba Diver, DCBC Divers Medical, OFA1 and O2 therapy, WHMIS.
