Enriched Air Nitrox

Enriched Air Nitrox Phi Phi

The Enriched Air Nitrox Phi Phi is the most popular specialty scuba diving course, and it’s easy to see why. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives. In other words you can typically stay down longer and get back in the water sooner. No wonder many divers choose this as their very first specialty. Our courses are conducted by experienced and certified PADI and SSI instructors with a ratio of 4 divers to one instructor.
