The real benefit appears on deeper recreational dives, where nitrogen builds up faster. Always respect the maximum operating depth of your mix.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Hurghada_Sites_for_Nitrox_Divers\"><\/span>Top Hurghada Sites for Nitrox Divers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Site<\/td>\n<td>Typical depth range<\/td>\n<td>Why Nitrox helps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>El Mina wreck<\/td>\n<td>Up to about 30 m<\/td>\n<td>More time to explore the wreck within your mix&#8217;s depth limit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Carless Reef<\/td>\n<td>Plateau around 20 m<\/td>\n<td>Longer time around the coral towers and moray eels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Abu Ramada reef walls<\/td>\n<td>Around 5\u201330 m<\/td>\n<td>Extra margin on deeper drift sections<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Small Giftun walls<\/td>\n<td>Deeper wall sections<\/td>\n<td>More bottom time along the wall<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Depths are approximate and vary by route and conditions.

With Nitrox, many divers enjoy a longer look at the hull and guns. Remember to check your mix: with EANx 32, keep within the planned maximum depth. You can add El Mina as an extra third dive for \u20ac35.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carless_Reef\"><\/span>Carless Reef<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Two coral towers rising from a plateau at around 20 metres make this one of the most rewarding Nitrox sites near Hurghada, when weather allows the boat to moor.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Abu_Ramada_and_Giftun_Walls\"><\/span>Abu Ramada and Giftun Walls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The walls and drift sections around Abu Ramada and Small Giftun give experienced divers deeper profiles where Nitrox adds valuable bottom time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nitrox_Dive_Planning_Tips\"><\/span>Nitrox Dive Planning Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Analyse your tank and label it before every dive.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Set your dive computer to the measured mix.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Calculate and respect your maximum operating depth.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Plan your dive with your guide and keep a safety stop.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Do not use Nitrox as a reason to push limits.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Nitrox_Certified_in_Hurghada\"><\/span>Get Nitrox Certified in Hurghada<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At Chloe&#8217;s Diving Center, the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox course costs \u20ac190.
