Online Nitrox

Traditionally, becoming a Nitrox Diver required long hours in the classroom, learning how to work obscure formulas and use complex dive tables. No more. Through SDI’s on-line training program, you can complete most of the required academic study in the comfort and convenience of your home or office. And, as with all SDI programs, you’ll learn to dive Nitrox the modern way, using Nitrox-programmable dive computers instead of arcane formulas and complicated tables.

Longer Bottom Times. Shorter Surface Intervals. These are among the many benefits of diving Nitrox — a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen in which the concentration of oxygen is greater than that found in air. You’ve no doubt heard of Nitrox, probably know divers who use it. You also know that using Nitrox safely requires special training and certification.

The process is simple and straightforward:

1. You can call us at (800) 771-3483 to receive a sign-up code, or you may register for the course on the web by using the sign-up section to the right.

2. Once enrolled you will have a sign-up code that you can use to register with, and once you are registered you will have a User Id and Password to login with.

3. You enter both the User Id and Password in the fields at the top right on this page. You can logout and leave the course at any time and return later to continue your learning, just login again.

4. Lessons can be repeated as desired, and the student's progress is measured by final exam.

5. As soon as you are done with the self-study portion of the course, call or visit South Florida Diving Headquarters to schedule your practical application session. Here you will get hands-on experience with oxygen analyzers and Nitrox computers.

6. Optional Nitrox Dives (not included in course)

7. When you have completed the academic review and practical application sessions, your SDI Dive Center will order your permanent certification card. What could be easier? Nitrox opens a world of possibilities, leading to better, more enjoyable diving. What are you waiting for?
