About

Aquaddiction have long been known as an energetic dive shop specialising in small groups and quality training.  They teach scuba diving from Open Water to Instructor level, but also teach several speciality courses.

Given that many of the dive sites around Indonesia's Gili Islands are quite deep (greater than 18 metres), your dive time can often be limited by your No Decompression Limit.  The No Decompression Limit denotes how long you can spend at depth before you absorb a dangerous amount of Nitrox, which could cause Decompression Sickness (otherwise known as the bends).

By breathing a tank of Enriched Air Nitrox, divers can stay at depth for longer as they are breathing a high concentration of oxygen and hence a lower concentration of Nitrogen.  This is not without its risks however, as the chances of Oxygen Toxicity are then increased.  

By taking an Enriched Air Nitrox speciality with Aquaddiciton on Gili Trawangan you will learn how to dive safely with Nitrox.  This includes analysing your tank to calculate the oxygen and nitrogen partial pressures and then calculate your maximum operating depth.

This course is offered as a purely academic course or as a course which includes 2 dives on Nitrox.  For more information check out the Aquaddiction Dive website at: http://aquaddiction.com/dive-courses/enriched-air-nitrox.php
