On the Florida coast at Boca Raton, a brief classroom session can extend the life of your dives. The Force‑E Scuba Nitrox Course for certified divers explains why enriched air—Nitrox—delivers longer no‑decompression times, shorter surface intervals and often less fatigue, all taught in an evening in‑store class with the option to add open‑water, two‑tank practice.

THE BENEFITS

Longer Bottom Time

Diving with Enriched Air Nitrox increases no‑decompression limits on many profiles, letting certified divers spend more productive minutes on the bottom and recover faster between dives.

THE CLASSROOM

Quick Evening Session

A concise, two‑hour in‑store class covers equipment considerations, cylinder analysis and dive‑planning techniques so you can apply Nitrox safely on your next trip.

THE PRACTICE

Optional Open‑Water Application

After the classroom portion you can elect to add a supervised two‑tank boat dive for an additional fee to put analysis and planning skills into practice under a Force‑E dive professional.
