Nitrox

Nitrox has become a must in the diving industry and a way of "safer diving" known and welcomed by most divers.

The JASMIN DIVING SPORTS CENTER has been one of the first using this developement and since the late ninties have offered Nitrox courses to our customers.

Nitrox has an increased element of oxygen with the advantage that the amount of nitrogen is reduced. Diving with regular air you have 21% of oxygen in your tank, with nitrox we use commonly 32% oxygen (EAN32).

Additional to EAN32 you can have EAN36. To make the most of Nitrox we even offer EAN28 for very special dive trips. With our partial air filling system we can even offer every certified diver 100% oxygen.

What are the advantages of Nitrox?

Because of the reduced nitrogen in the air your body is absorbing less nitrogen during the dive. The danger of a decompression illness is decreased and you have a longer dive time.

What do you have to consider while diving with Nitrox:

You have to be careful about your depth limit. Nitrox diving has nothing to do with diving deep! The higher partial pressure of oxygen can become toxic if you do not follow the depth limits.

Despite many rumors the nitrox courses are very easy and can be completed very quickly.

You usually need a day with 2 dives. The Nitrox theory you can learn on board during the daily excursion and with your certificate you are allowed to dive with a nitrox mixture of 40% oxygen (EAN40).

We can organize Nitrox courses any time upon request.

For only Euro 20,- you can get your personal Jasmin Diving Sports Center Nitrox Card. With this card you can dive with Nitrox 32 for free with us.

If you are doing the nitrox course with us, you receive this card free of charge.
