Enriched Air Nitrox
PADI or NAUI

At Olympus Dive Center we are committed to providing our students with the safest and highest quality Scuba training available. As a full service Nitrox facility we have over 20,000 cu.ft. of premixed Nitrox and plenty of rental tanks in both 80 and 100 cu. ft. We believe that ocean diving plays an integral role in the training process and Nitrox is the best breathing gas with which to explore our magnificent deeper shipwrecks. The greatest benefit of Nitrox to the diver is less Nitrogen absorption by the body resulting in longer bottom times. For example, at a depth of sixty feet, a diver using 36% Nitrox mix enjoys a bottom time TWICE that of air. Olympus can meet any of your breathing gas needs no matter what type of diving you enjoy.

The PADI Enriched Air Nitrox course is divided into three sections: knowledge developement, practical application and open water training. Knowledge developement entails reading the Enriched Air manual, watching the video and reviewing key information with your instructor in the classroom. You will have hands on demonstrations with gas analizing and bring it all together with two open water dives.

The cornerstone of the NAUI Nitrox Diver course is the Enriched Air textbook. Written by decompression theory pioneer Dr. Bill Hamilton and technical diver Joel Silverstein, it is one of the most comprehensive manuals on the subject available. The written material is supplemented by high quality color photos, charts, and graphs. The NAUI course teaches the student practical information about using Nitrox.
