Enriched Air Nitrox

The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba diving course, and it’s easy to see why. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no-decompression dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives.

The Fun Part

You can typically stay down longer and get back the water sooner. No wonder many divers choose this as their very first specialty.

What You Learn

• Techniques for getting more dive time by using enriched air nitrox
• Enriched air scuba diving equipment considerations
• Enriched air considerations, including managing oxygen exposure, how to tell what’s in your scuba cylinder and how to set your dive computer

The Scuba Gear You Use

You use all the basic scuba gear. Your scuba regulator must be enriched air compatible.

Prerequisites

To enrol in the PADI Enriched Air Diver course, you must

• Be 15 years or older
• Have a PADI Open Water Diver certification (or have a qualifying certification from another organization)

Ask your PADI Instructor about how you can start your PADI Enriched Air Diver course during your PADI Open Water Diver course.
