You might have looked into SSI's Enriched Air Nitrox or PADI's Enriched Air Diver courses if you are looking for online training to get your scuba diving certification. It's possible that you aren't sure where to start. This article will provide information on how to get started as well as the benefits and disadvantages of each. In addition, you'll learn about online nitrox certification programs.
PADI's Enriched Air Diver course
PADI Enriched Air Diver is a course that teaches you how to safely plan for and prepare for enriched dives. It is primarily computer-based, and the classroom portion typically takes an evening. This course can be used in conjunction with other PADI courses such as Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver. This course includes Nitrox dives. However, you can also complete them yourself if you wish.
Interactive multimedia presentations, audio and graphics are used to teach the course. They are simple to comprehend and remember. There are short quizzes to test your progress. A Quick Review, a practical session, two enriched-air training dives, pre-dive simulations and a practice application are all part of the course. PADI recommends that you complete the eLearning portion of the course at least one year before you plan to dive with nitrox.
SSI's Enriched Air Nitrox course
The EnrichedAir Nitrox course at SSI can be a great choice for divers wanting to improve their bottom times and reduce their surface intervals. This course covers everything you need to know about gas theory, proper mixing of enriched water, and marking your tank. In this course, you will learn how calculate the perfect enriched-air mix for your depth. You'll also learn how to plan your dives to get the most out of enriched water.
After completing an Open Water Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver course or SSI’s EnrichedAir Nitrox class, SSI will continue to provide ongoing training that will give you the skills and knowledge necessary to safely use enriched air. You'll also learn how to plan for future dives in order to reduce the likelihood of suffering from decompression sickness. Once you complete the course and pass the exams, you will be able to use the enriched air cylinder safely.
Online courses for nitrox certification
You can get your enriched-air certification in two ways: online or in a classroom. You will need a computer with a diving program if you take the classroom course. It takes approximately two to three hours to complete your classroom component of your enriched aviation certification. You can combine it with an Advanced Open Water or PADI Open Water course. If you have limited time, you can also sign up for private classes or take advantage of online learning resources. The course can also be taken online. You can also opt to do the nitrox-dive offline.
The course requires a computer with a dive program, a cylinder, as well as a manual. An app that simulates an air enriched cylinder can be used to practice your skills if you have an online option. The EANx36 cylinder will work in both a classroom or online eLearning class. Participants must be at the least 12 years old.
