SDI COMPUTER NITROX COURSE:
Traditionally, becoming a Nitrox
Diver required long hours in the
classroom, learning how to work
obscure formulas and use complex
dive tables. No more. Through SDI’s
on-line training program, you can
complete most of the required
academic study in the comfort and
convenience of your home or office.
And, as with all SDI programs,
you’ll learn to dive Nitrox the
modern way, using
Nitrox-programmable dive computers
instead of arcane formulas and
complicated tables. This SDI
specialty course will change the way
you think about diving and the way
you execute your dives.

- Few advances in the realm
of diving have had a more profound impact during
the past two decades than the widespread
availability of Enriched Air Nitrox. And nothing
has made the switch from diving air to diving
its more exotic cousin more straightforward or
more enjoyable than Nitrox programmable dive
computers.
- Simply put, nitrox — air
with additional oxygen content — allows divers
to enjoy longer bottom times (and shorter
surface intervals) than their air-breathing dive
buddies, while staying within the limits that
were stressed in their open water training.
- Nitrox makes this
possible because it contains reduced levels of
nitrogen compared to air and less nitrogen
translates into more bottom time! But of course
there is a price to pay. Diving nitrox does
present risks that are not present diving air
and these risks require divers to take some
additional steps during their pre-dive planning
and that they then adhere to that dive plan.
- During this course, you
will learn about all the risks associated with
Nitrox diving and the rules to follow to make
sure those risks will be avoided. You will also
learn how to dive safely with Nitrox mixes
containing oxygen levels ranging from 22 to 40
percent.
- In addition, you will
learn that the best tool to help you apply your
new-found knowledge and to help you track your
nitrox dives thoroughly is your nitrox
programmable dive computer.
- You will discover that
diving Nitrox is not rocket science. The
concepts are straightforward and easy to
understand. Of course, like most things relating
to diving, the subject does have another side
and if the science and technology behind the
basic concepts of nitrox interest you or if you
find yourself wondering how nitrox with higher
levels of oxygen than 40 percent would affect
you diving, you may want to consider continuing
on to Technical Diving International’s (TDI’s)
Advanced Nitrox Diver course.
- Upon
completion of the On-line portion of this
course. Student must attend a class on,
Analyzing, Labeling and Logging a Nitrox filled
cylinder.
