Nitrox
Nitrox offers safer and less tiring dives. We hope you will do numerous dives in our centers. Therefore Nitrox has a real interest :
- For Nitrox diving, it requires Nitrox. The delivery of oxygen blocks is too difficult in the islands, and Nitrox inflation is dangerous. Therefore, TOPDIVE has equipped its centers with Diaphragm compressors, ensuring constant and unconstrained air and Nitrox inflation. We will not tell you that Nitrox is not available today !
- We apply the procedures of the largest diving organizations. You will complete the blocks filling forms, helping you to plan well the characteristics of your diving.
