Enriched Air (Nitrox) by SDI
What is Nitrox?
More Oxygen: Nitrox is a breathing gas with a higher oxygen content than regular air. By adjusting the oxygen levels, we can extend our bottom time and reduce nitrogen absorption.
Safer Decompression: Nitrox reduces the risk of decompression sickness (the bends) by allowing for longer no-decompression limits.
Benefits of Nitrox Diving
Extended Bottom Time: With Nitrox, you can stay underwater longer during repetitive dives. Explore wrecks, reefs, and marine life without rushing.
Less Fatigue: Reduced nitrogen exposure means less fatigue after diving. You’ll feel more energized for subsequent dives.
Shallower Profiles: Nitrox allows for shallower profiles, minimizing nitrogen buildup and enhancing safety.
extended underwater adventures
Enriched Air
Welcome to Enriched Air (Nitrox) diving! As your personal dive instructor, I’m excited to introduce you to the world of extended underwater adventures.
Considerations
Oxygen Exposure:
While Nitrox is safe within recreational limits, we’ll discuss the maximum depth and oxygen percentage for your dives.
Complete Equipment:
No worries—I provide all the necessary Nitrox-compatible equipment, including tanks and analyzers.
Certification:
If you’re not Nitrox-certified yet, let’s get you trained! It’s a straightforward course that opens up new diving possibilities.
Different Configuration: Sidemount diving involves using one or two cylinders mounted on your sides instead of the traditional back-mounted setup.
Advantages: Sidemount offers several advantages, including better streamlining, easier cylinder handling, and increased gas redundancy.
Why Choose Sidemount?
Enhanced Buoyancy: Sidemount allows for better balance and trim underwater. You’ll feel more in control and comfortable.
Extended Bottom Time: With redundant gas supplies, you can explore deeper and stay down longer.
Versatility: Sidemount is ideal for cave diving, wreck exploration, and tight spaces.

Today I had the opportunity to do my first cenote dive with alan. Communication with alan went without any problems. He responds reliably and quickly. On the day of the dive he came on time and spreaded a good vibe.
His diving equipment is in very good condition.
During the dive itself you feel very safe with alan. You can tell that he knows what he's doing. Even after the dives you could still swim in the cenote and alan didn't make any time pressure. It was a very impressive experience and I can only recommend alan.
He is a very good guide with very good vibes
thank you Alan :-)

On a recent trip to Tulum, I got the chance to dive with Alan several times and would highly recommend him for training classes as well as guided cenote dives. I dive a lot, and have seen many teaching and guiding styles; Alan was very knowledgeable with the SDI sidemount course, and I came away from it with a super solid skill base I look forward to continuing to work on. He is detail-oriented, kind, patient, and always had excellent constructive tips to help me improve. I think he would be an excellent instructor for anyone from beginning divers just starting out to those doing more advanced courses. Later in the trip a small group of us also did a few guided cenote dives with Alan, and it was an equally experience! We all had an amazing time and would love to dive with him again.

Thank you Alan for giving us the best memories in Tulum with his professional yet considerate guide!
Alan is so patient with us and carefully picked the right spots for our first Cenote diving. Guided us to the incredible under water palace. He also helped us recording this unforgettable memory, so that we shall truly focus and enjoy the whole journey.
We are so grateful to have found Alan! will definitely come back and dive with my amigos!!
慶幸找到Alan
雖然開始時只係網上聯繫但他會好用心回應所有疑問及為我地按排合適行程。
佢非常熟悉每個潛點的特性，根據我地既水平按排。每到一個cenote 都會事先視察環境條件ok 先帶我地入去，可能因為佢係本地人既關係見佢同d 職員搭晒膀頭我地就更安心。
除左潛水之外Alan 仲介紹左好多本地餐廳比我地！ 下次反黎一定會再去搵佢！

Increíble experiencia que tuvimos mi esposa y yo de principio a fin. Al principio dudaba más un poco al ser primerizos y tomar el curso primerisos en hacer buceo, pero Alan hizo que todo fuera fácil, divertido y completamente seguro. Su forma de transmitir confianza y entusiasmo realmente nos ayudó a relajarnos y disfrutar de cada momento. Superó todas nuestras expectativas y nos dejó con ganas de repetir. Sin duda, mucho mejor de lo que jamás habríamos imaginado. ¡Altamente recomendado!
