Nitrox Diving
Using an oxygen-enriched mixture for your dives offers numerous advantages:
More time without a decompression
With a higher percentage of oxygen (often 32% or 36%), you reduce nitrogen saturation → therefore more time at the bottom at equivalent depth.
Less fatigue felt
Many divers say they feel less tired after several consecutive dives (weekend, course, cruise).
Increased safety in recreational diving
By staying in the depths on air but diving with Nitrox, you add a safety margin with regard to decompression.
Ideal for repeated dives
Particularly interesting if you are doing several immersions in a row (training, 2-day exploration, etc.).
Optimizing dive profiles
Allows for longer exploration times in the 15–25 m zone, typical of reefs in Reunion Island.
Basic Nitrox
€90 + 1 dive (€65)
The Basic Nitrox course is mainly theoretical, as it does not require any specific new underwater skills.
After completing the online theory section provided by Scuba Schools International, our instructors will accompany you throughout a dive to: analyse and identify your tank, set up your dive computer, and discuss your saturation levels underwater... Our instructors are also on hand to answer any questions you may have about Nitrox.
This course enables you to dive with a gas mixture containing up to 40% oxygen.
Advanced Nitrox course
€380 for 4 dives
The Advanced Nitrox course is designed for divers who wish to take their use of enriched air to the next level. It teaches participants how to use mixtures with higher oxygen concentrations and how to optimise their dive profiles safely. This certification opens the door to more precise decompression management and better planning of extended or consecutive dives.
The course covers: advanced physiology, management of partial pressure of oxygen (PPO₂), calculation of maximum operating depths (MOD), planning with different gas mixtures, and specific safety procedures. The course alternates between theory and practical sessions to enable divers to analyse and use their gases independently.
Particularly useful for regular divers in Réunion, this speciality enables divers to make the most of dives on drop-offs and deeper sites whilst maintaining a rigorous and safe approach.
