The SSI Enriched Air (Nitrox) pathway

SSI Enriched Air Nitrox certifies you to use blends up to 40 percent oxygen and is delivered through the SSI digital platform. The course can be completed as a knowledge programme, with optional training dives to apply the skills.

Where you'll dive in Perhentian

Nitrox is well worth it on the Perhentians' multiple-dives-a-day schedule and deeper sites like the Sugar Wreck and the Pinnacle, where extended limits mean more time underwater in the warm March-to-October season.

Frequently asked questions

Will nitrox let me go deeper?

No. It extends bottom time at a given depth rather than increasing depth limits; the maximum operating depth for a blend is actually shallower than for air.

Are dives required for SSI Nitrox?

The certification can be earned through the digital knowledge programme; optional dives let you practise analysing and logging blends.

What certification do I need first?

SSI Open Water Diver or an equivalent entry-level certification.

Why use nitrox on the Perhentians?

With several daily dives available, longer no-decompression limits help you get more bottom time across a diving day.

When is the best time to dive Perhentian?

Peak season is Mar–Oct — clearest visibility, calmest seas. Shoulder (Feb, Nov) is still good with fewer crowds.

Do Indians need a visa for Malaysia?

Visa-free. Confirm latest requirements before booking flights.

How long is the flight from India?

5-6 hours · one-way fares around ₹16K-24K.
