| NITROX Installed | |
| Today we had our Nitrox system installed. We can now offer Nitrox fills and courses. This also makes us the only dive centre from Javea to Alicante with the facility to fill Nitrox. Enriched air Nitrox gives you more of what you got into diving for-Time underwater. Enriched air does this by replacing some of the nitrogen in the air with oxygen. This means you absorb less nitrogen during a dive, which gives you longer no decompression limits- increasing your time underwater.
