Nitrox Diving

Linked by agreement with the European Mixed Diving School, GRASM offers you the opportunity to discover or improve your mixed diving skills.

What is this ?

Diving with super-oxygenated mixtures (NITROX) is now widespread throughout the world and represents a major asset for the comfort of divers in the 0 to 40 meter zone.
NITROX increases safety by reducing the risk of decompression sickness.

Prerequisites

Divers must be in possession of a valid FFESSM license.

  • A medical certificate of absence of contraindication (CACI) to the practice of scuba diving established by a general practitioner is required upon entry into training.

  • Level 1 for the "Nitrox diver" (from 12 years old)

  • Level 2 for the “confirmed Nitrox diver” (from 15 years old)

Training is provided by experienced Nitrox instructors.
