| The PADI Nitrox Diver course can be done on most Thai liveaboards (the ones with Nitrox filling systems on them:) Doing your Nitrox course in combination with a liveaboard is cheaper. Nitrox is also ideally suited to liveaboard diving where you do multiple dives over multiple days. |

Why dive Nitrox?
Most dives are done in relatively shallow depths (above 30 metres) which are ideally suited to diving nitrox. Breathing Nitrox means that you absorb less nitrogen into your tissues. So you can either extend your bottom time on each dive (if your air consumption will allow it) or you can dive for the same length of time but surface with less nitrogen absorbtion. In theory this is safer. Especially for older and/or less physically fit divers. Many divers also claim that diving nitrox leaves them less tired after diving.
Nitrox is especially popular on resorts and liveaboards where multiple dives over multiple day is the norm.
In many countries (not Thailand) Nitrox fills are now offered at no extra charge to nitrox certified divers.
