Longer Bottom Times. Shorter Surface Intervals. These are among the many benefits of diving Nitrox - a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen in which the concentration of oxygen is greater than that found in air. Nitrox is the ideal sports diving gas and more people are using it for their diving. You also know that using Nitrox safely requires special training and certification. 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. When you sign up you will be assigned a unique code. You can then complete all the self study parts of the course online. You can do this at your own pace and return to the online course as often as you wish, even after you have gained your cerification. When you are done with the self-study portion of the course, we will meet up to review your final exam (academic review)and to take part in a brief, practical application session. Here you will get hands-on experience with oxygen analyzers and Nitrox computers. If you want you can even add on one or more Nitrox dives. When you have completed the academic review and practical application sessions, we will order your permanent certification card. What could be easier? Nitrox opens a world of possibilities, leading to better, more enjoyable diving. What are you waiting for?
