Padi Enriched Air- Nitrox Course in Okinawa

Training at Sunabe Seawall

What is Nitrox and why it`s beneficial for scuba divers

PADI Nitrox Course Okinawa offers divers an upgraded underwater experience with enriched air, giving you more oxygen and less nitrogen in your tank compared to regular air, which contains 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen.

Why choose the PADI Nitrox Course Okinawa? Less nitrogen in your tank means longer bottom times without exceeding no-decompression limits. In other words, you get more time exploring Okinawa’s incredible dive sites while staying safe and relaxed.

With Nitrox, your body gets a break from nitrogen overload, making surface intervals shorter and dives longer. Divers also report feeling less fatigued after their dives – no more sluggish post-dive feelings.

The PADI Nitrox Course Okinawa isn’t a magic solution for every diving challenge, but it’s like upgrading from economy to first class. By learning enriched air diving, you gain longer, safer, and more enjoyable dives, giving your scuba adventures a true boost.
