Course overview

Earn longer bottom times on Nusa Penida's deeper reefs with the SSI Enriched Air Nitrox specialty, ideal for divers who want more time with the mantas and Mola Mola. Extended no-decompression limits are a genuine asset at Crystal Bay and Manta Point, where patience in the cold thermoclines is often rewarded. The certification qualifies you to analyse, plan and dive enriched air to recreational limits.
