Enriched Air Nitrox Level 2 (40%)
Learn to dive safely with enriched air mixtures up to 40% oxygen. The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox course extends your bottom time, shortens surface intervals, and adds an extra safety margin to every dive. Digital learning is included in the course price.

If you've ever cut a dive short because your computer flashed a no-decompression warning, nitrox solves that problem. Diving with enriched air — an oxygen-nitrogen blend with less nitrogen than regular air — means you absorb nitrogen more slowly, which translates to longer bottom times, shorter surface intervals, and less residual nitrogen in your system after a day of diving. Get-N-Wet Scuba's Enriched Air Nitrox program is one of the most popular specialties we teach, and it's a quick, practical certification that pays off on almost every dive trip afterward.
You'll learn the basics of nitrox physiology, how to analyze your own tanks before every dive, how to plan dives using nitrox tables or your dive computer, and the safety considerations that come with breathing higher oxygen percentages. This is an academic-only course with no open water dives required, so it can be completed through self-paced digital learning followed by a short in-person review and exam with one of our instructors. Upon completion, you'll earn an SSI Enriched Air Nitrox 32% or 40% certification, recognized by dive operators worldwide.

FAQ
Do I need to be certified to take this course?
Yes, you should already hold an open water diving certification. Nitrox training focuses on gas mixtures and dive planning, not basic diving skills.
Are there open water dives required?
No. This is an academic-only specialty. Some divers choose to log their first nitrox dives during a regular fun dive with an instructor, but it isn't a certification requirement.
What's the difference between the 32% and 40% certification?
Both use the same core training. The 40% option prepares you to dive with richer oxygen blends, common for shallower recreational diving, and provides an even greater safety margin.
