Extend your bottom time and reduce surface intervals by diving with enriched air. The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox specialty is a must-have for getting the most out of Komodo's multi-dive days.
The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox specialty teaches you to plan and execute dives using oxygen-enriched air (up to 40% O2), giving you significantly longer no-decompression times and shorter surface intervals. On Komodo's packed multi-dive days, Nitrox is a genuine game-changer.
The course covers Nitrox theory, gas analysis, dive planning with enriched air, and equipment considerations. It can be completed in a single day with digital learning through the MySSI app — no water sessions required. Once certified, you can dive Nitrox at any SSI-affiliated dive center worldwide, making every multi-dive day more productive and enjoyable.
Enriched Air Nitrox is the most popular diving specialty worldwide, and Komodo is the perfect place to use it. Longer bottom times, shorter surface intervals, and less fatigue across multi-day dive trips.

Ask about SSI Enriched Air NitroxNot all dive centers are created equal. Here's what to look for when choosing where to do your SSI course in Komodo.
Instructor Experience
Look for SSI instructors at Diamond or Elite certification level — the highest SSI instructor ratings. Ask how many certifications they've completed and whether they specialise in your target program.
Safety Standards
Ensure they have emergency oxygen, first aid kits, and DAN insurance on every boat. Ask about emergency protocols and equipment servicing schedules — SSI centres should follow SSI safe diving standards.
Equipment Quality
Ask to see the student equipment before committing. Modern, well-maintained gear from recognised brands (Scubapro, Mares, Cressi) ensures a better and safer learning experience.
Group Size
Smaller student groups mean better instructor attention and faster skill development. Look for centres offering 2–4 students per instructor rather than filling sessions to maximum capacity.
Boat Quality
Long days at sea require comfortable, well-equipped boats. Check for shade, toilets, safety gear, and a clean dive deck. A good boat makes your training days significantly more enjoyable.
Reviews & Reputation
Read recent reviews focusing on instructor communication, patience, and how the centre handles students who progress at different speeds. Consistent high ratings over many reviews are a strong signal.
