Enriched Air Nitrox Koh Lanta
More Oxygen, Less Nitrogen, Less Tired
Learn to dive with more oxygen and less nitrogen in your tank, with the SSI Enriched Air Nitrox course here on Koh Lanta.
During your Open Water Diver Course, you learned some of the limits of diving on normal air, and how nitrogen affects the body when we go scuba diving.
During our dives, nitrogen is absorbed into our body tissues and this limits our diving depth and time. As you learned in your Open Water Course, too much Nitrogen can be a bad thing.
Enriched Air gas mixtures contain more oxygen and less nitrogen which means that during a dive, our tissues are exposed to a lower partial pressure of nitrogen. This lower nitrogen partial pressure results in less nitrogen being absorbed by the body during a dive.
As part of your Scuba Schools International (SSI) Enriched Air Nitrox course, you will have 2 dives on 32% Nitrox, which is approximately 32% oxygen and 68% nitrogen.
Many Nitrox divers also claim to feel much less tired after diving on Nitrox, and for those of you who are feeling a little less fit than you used to be, less nitrogen in your body can only be a good thing - especially if you're planning several days diving here on Koh Lanta.

How long is the Enriched Air Nitrox Course?
The Nitrox theory typically takes 1 - 2 hours and is completed the day before your Nitrox dives. You can complete the Enriched Air Nitrox course theory and exam on the SSI app or the SSI website.
On the morning of your dives, you will analyse your two tanks of 32% Nitrox before the boat departs Koh Lanta.
During your course, you'll also learn how to use a Nitrox diving computer, how to set and check the computer. If you don't have your own Nitrox dive computer, we'll lend you a Suunto Zoop to use during the course for free.
We prefer to teach SSI courses. Find out what's the difference between SSI and PADI?
