Computer Nitrox Diver
Want more time underwater and shorter waits between dives? Nitrox can help.
The SDI Computer Nitrox course teaches you how to dive nitrox mixes up to 40% with a programmable dive computer. You learn online, then spend one hour with us at The Dive Shop. And there's no getting wet.
It's $100. Call us at (801) 295-5445 or stop by to get started.

How the Computer Nitrox course works
There are two parts, and neither one involves a pool.
- Online: complete your eLearning at your own pace
- In person: a one-hour practical at The Dive Shop, scheduled after you finish the online training
At the practical, you'll analyze a nitrox gas mix and program a dive computer to do a nitrox dive.
What you'll learn
- How oxygen and nitrogen work in your body
- Equipment considerations for nitrox
- The types of dive computers that work with nitrox
- Why nitrox gives longer no-decompression time or shorter surface intervals
- Oxygen toxicity hazards and depth limits
- Common nitrox myths
- How to use an oxygen analyzer and log your results
What you'll do
To finish the course, you'll:
- Pass the exam with at least 80%, with full review of anything you miss
- Analyze at least two nitrox cylinders and label them
- Log a nitrox cylinder analysis, including oxygen content and maximum operating depth
- Program a nitrox computer for a mix between 22% and 40% oxygen
Your online training, step by step
