Explore our most popular Specialty Diver Courses in Hurghada below. Each course provides focused training and practical experience, with links to our detailed specialty guides where you can learn more about requirements, training and certification.
Enriched Air Nitrox Diver Course
Enriched Air Nitrox allows divers to use breathing gas containing a higher percentage of oxygen and less nitrogen than regular air. The course teaches you how to analyze your Nitrox cylinder, understand oxygen exposure, set your dive computer correctly and safely plan dives using enriched air.
Nitrox is particularly useful for divers making repetitive dives during a diving holiday in Hurghada because it can help reduce nitrogen exposure and provide longer no-decompression limits under appropriate dive profiles.
