Diving with nitrox has become the rule rather than the exception these days on Komodo liveaboards. When submerging up to five times a day to depths of 20 metres or more the elevated levels of oxygen in our mix keeps us safe and out of the dreaded decompression zone.

The Komodo Dancer was the first vessel in the region to offer nitrox and runs a Nitrox Technologies membrane system to produce our diving gas. This is the latest, safest and most accurate method of production. We have several separate O2 analysers on board to enable our divers to analyse and log their own cylinder mix with every new fill.

The NT system differs from other production methods in that we subtract nitrogen from the mix rather than adding oxygen - so no heavy O2 cylinders on board. Production limit is 40% for SCUBA or rebreather use.

TDI or PADI nitrox courses are available on board.
