They do, and it is (I have one). The YMCA and NASDS also offer Nitrox
specialties under similar circumstances (Instructor is cross-trained
by ANDI or IANTD, and uses appropriate training materials from one of
those agencies).

In some cases, the additional "home" agency requirements are more
strict than the "technical" agency requirements. For example, NAUI
requires at least three OW dives for their specialty (this is true of
all NAUI specialties, not just Nitrox).

YMCA requires that the student diver has at least 20 dives prior to
enrollment in the Nitrox course, and that all certification dives be
done in accordance with the Navy *air* tables (i.e. dive the Nitrox
as though it were air).

I'm not familiar with NASDS requirements, btu I imagine they are
similar.
