Boost Your Dive Time and Comfort in Komodo National Park
IL Enriched Air Diver (Nitrox) | 1 Day, 3 Dives program offered by Tour di Komodo Padar lets certified scuba divers learn to dive safely with enriched air nitrox while enjoying three dives in the extraordinary underwater landscapes of Parco nazionale di Komodo — one of the world’s most acclaimed dive destinations.
🌊 What Is Enriched Air (Nitrox)?
Enriched Air Nitrox (commonly called “Nitrox”) is a breathing gas mix that contains a higher percentage of oxygen and less nitrogen than regular air. This means:
- Longer bottom times at recreational depths with reduced nitrogen uptake in your body.
- Shorter required surface intervals between dives (depending on planning and depth).
- Potentially less fatigue after multiple dives in a day.
Because Komodo is known for exciting drift dives, dramatic pinnacles, and multiple dives in a day, using nitrox can help you make the most of every dive.
🤿 How the Program Works
IL 1‑day Enriched Air Diver (Nitrox) specialty is designed for already certified divers who want to understand the benefits and safe use of nitrox. The program typically includes:
- Knowledge development about enriched air theory, oxygen exposure limits, and dive planning considerations.
- Practical skills and gas analysis, learning how to analyze oxygen content in nitrox tanks and adjust your dive computer or tables accordingly.
- Three guided dives, where you apply your nitrox knowledge in real dive conditions in Komodo National Park.
Dive Tribe Komodo lists the price for this program as IDR 3,600,000 (about $222 USD) — including instruction and dives, though park fees are usually due separately.
🐠 Benefits of Getting Nitrox Certified
Becoming an Enriched Air Diver gives you practical advantages, especially when diving in high‑energy destinations like Komodo:
- Extended no‑decompression limits on repetitive dives.
- More flexibility to enjoy multiple dives per day with less nitrogen buildup.
- Greater confidence planning and executing dives with enriched gas safely.
Whether you’re doing three dives on the same day or heading out on multi‑day dive trips, Nitrox is a useful skill that enhances your overall diving experience.
