SSI Specialty to dive with enriched air and optimize your dive planning
Optimize your dives and take your planning to the next level with the Nitrox diving course in Malta.
The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox specialty allows you to use enriched air to reduce nitrogen absorption and make the most of each dive, especially in repetitive profiles or diving trips.
You will learn to calculate your maximum operating depth (MOD), analyze your mix before each dive, and correctly configure your dive computer.
The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox course is a specialty that enables you to use oxygen-enriched air in your recreational dives.
During the training you will learn to calculate the maximum operating depth (MOD), manage oxygen exposure and correctly analyze a bottle before each dive.
It is a theoretical training of 4 to 6 hours, with the option of adding a dive to apply the knowledge in the water. At the end you will obtain the official SSI Enriched Air Nitrox certification.
Diving with Nitrox allows you to optimize your planning and make the most of each dive. The main advantages of enriched air are:
Malta is an ideal destination to take advantage of the benefits of diving with Nitrox thanks to the great variety of dive sites and the intense diving activity during stays of several days.
The use of enriched air allows you to optimize nitrogen management and reduce surface intervals, which is especially useful when you make several dives during a diving trip in Malta.
For this reason, the Nitrox course is one of the most recommended specialties for divers who make diving trips or days with several dives.
Our SSI Enriched Air Nitrox specialty course includes everything you need to safely use enriched air and plan your dives correctly.
Access to the official SSI eLearning with specific content on Nitrox mixtures, oxygen management, MOD calculation and dive planning.
Practical review of calculations, bottle analysis and computer configuration under direct supervision.
Use an oxygen analyzer to verify the mixture before each dive. Option to add 1 dive with Nitrox.
Issuance of an internationally recognized certification that enables you to dive with enriched air.
To access the deep diving course, it is necessary to meet the following requirements:
Our team is certified by SSI and has real experience in advanced dive planning. Training is provided with a technical approach, clarity in the concepts, and practical application of the calculations.
We work with groups of maximum 6 people, which allows us to review calculations, planning, and mixture analysis individually, ensuring that you understand each procedure with precision.

Nitrox is an enriched air mixture with a higher percentage of oxygen than normal air, which modifies nitrogen management during the dive.
In recreational diving, mixtures of up to 40% oxygen (EAN32 or EAN36) are normally used, within the standards established by SSI.
No. The course can be completed with theoretical training only. The dive is optional, although recommended to apply the knowledge in the water.
Yes. To dive with enriched air, a computer is required that allows you to configure the percentage of oxygen used.
Yes. It is common to combine Nitrox with specialties such as Deep Diving or Wreck Diving to optimize dive planning.
No. The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox certification does not expire, although it is always recommended to maintain recent experience and update knowledge.
Yes. Although Nitrox is especially useful on trips or days with several dives, it also provides greater control in planning and nitrogen management in individual dives. It is a short, practical and applicable specialty from the first moment.
