Course overview

Extend your bottom time on Sipadan's deep walls with the SSI Enriched Air Nitrox specialty. Learning to dive higher-oxygen blends increases your no-decompression limits on repetitive dives, a major advantage when you want to spend more time among the barracuda tornadoes and turtle highways of the Sipadan drop-offs. It is among the most popular specialties for divers logging multiple dives a day here.
