Stay Down Longer: Get Your PADI Nitrox Certification in Cozumel
Here in Cozumel, Mexico, the one thing every diver wants is more time on our spectacular reefs. As a passionate dive shop Cozumel divers love, we at Tres Pelicanos Dive Center are dedicated to “diving the way divers like to dive,” and that means maximizing your bottom time safely. The PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) certification is your key to unlocking longer dives, and it’s one of the best and most popular PADI certification classes you can take.

Why Every Cozumel Diver Needs Nitrox
The simple answer is longer no-decompression limits. Enriched Air Nitrox contains less nitrogen than standard air, which means your body absorbs less nitrogen on every dive. This allows you to safely extend your bottom time, especially on repetitive dives. It means more time exploring swim-throughs, more time with that sea turtle, and more time enjoying the reefs you came here to see.
What’s Involved in the Course?
Getting your Nitrox certification is quick and straightforward. The course focuses on the knowledge you need to dive safely. You’ll learn how to analyze the oxygen content in your tank, plan your dive based on your enriched air mix, and properly set your dive computer. Because the course is primarily knowledge-based, you can often complete the academics online before you even arrive in Cozumel!


Safe Training, Professional Guidance
Your safety and confidence are our top priorities. As a professional diver training center, we hold ourselves to the highest standards. Our experienced PADI instructors will personally guide you through the process, ensuring you understand everything you need to know. We’ll make sure you leave us as a confident and competent Nitrox diver, ready to explore Cozumel and the world.
Dive and Feel the Difference
Many divers report feeling less tired after diving with Nitrox compared to standard air. While everyone is different, imagine finishing two incredible morning dives and still having plenty of energy to enjoy your afternoon on the island. It’s another fantastic perk of becoming an enriched air diver and a perfect complement to our long, relaxed dive profiles.
