About this trip
Why go diving with Nitrox? Because scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression time, especially on repetitive scuba dives.
- If staying down longer and getting back in the water sooner sounds appealing, then don’t hesitate to become an enriched air diver.
- If you’re a (Junior) Open Water Diver who is at least 12 years old, you can enroll in the Enriched Air Diver Specialty course.
- What will you learn?
- You’ll learn why diving with air that has higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content gives you more bottom time, along with enriched air equipment considerations. During a practical session, and two optional scuba dives, you’ll:
• Discuss managing oxygen exposure
• Practice analyzing oxygen content in your scuba tank
• Set your dive computer for diving with enriched air nitrox

I had a wonderful time diving with this company. I felt safe and was confident that I was diving with an experienced team. The marine life was abundant and I look forward to diving with them again next year. I do not hesitate to recommend this company.

As good as any operation I have seen in the Mexico/Caribbean region. Well-organized and safe. Equipment is in great shape. And the owners and dive masters are friendly and fun. You can’t go wrong with them!

The owners and staff are amazing!!! The shop has well maintained gear and there is no compromise in safety or standards. You will have a great time on their well maintained and clean boat with a very experienced captain.
The Dive Instructors make sure you get to see as much as is available to see,… which in Huatulco is a ton of sea life.

Great team and good diving. The rental equipment was in excellent shape. The office was a 15 minute walk from the cruise ship terminal. I got geared up there and we went by pick-up truck to the boat pier. The diving was good, although the visibility wasn't great. The dive master was pretty good at finding critters and pointing them. Overall a very good experience.

My second time diving with HDC and it won't be the last ! A big thanks again to everyone. A wonderful crew, shop and awesome diving.
This time as a group it was Wonderfull to see everyone enjoying the dives and the talk after the dives about how everyone is wanting to come back. Thanks Ken for being flexible with the few that changed their itinerary a little bit.
The WeTravel booking system was great for the group and made it easy for payments before arrival.
A well ran shop and boat, professional and courteous, David and Shaun are very knowledgeable about the sites and wildlife. Our group really enjoyed their professionalism and hard work, making sure to try find all the cool difficult critters to see.
I can't wait to return and I know we have a lot more people interested in diving with you. I look forward to trying to get to some of the other sites again :-)
Muchas Gracias
