Enriched Air diving, commonly referred
to as "Nitrox" diving has gained popularity among California divers over the
past several years. Diving with enriched air Nitrox lets you safely extend
your no stop time beyond the no decompression limits for air. Diving with
enriched air means more time underwater – but you need to be certified as an
Enriched Air Diver to get enriched air fills.
PACIFIC WILDERNESS can teach you how to safely dive on
enriched air, with only 6-7 hours of class time & 2 Nitrox dives.
