PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox)

Enriched air, also known as nitrox or EANx, contains less nitrogen than regular air. Breathing less nitrogen means you can enjoy longer dives and shorter surface intervals, so no wonder Enriched Air Diver is the most popular PADI® specialty.

WHAT WILL I DO?

Your training starts by learning why we use enriched air for scuba diving and how important it is to know and understand the limits. During your PADI Enriched Air course you will develop the knowledge and skill to:

• Obtain and record nitrox gas fills

• Understand why nitrox allows you to stay at depth for longer

• Understand why nitrox allows you to enjoy shorter surface intervals

• Measure the oxygen content of your gas blend using an analyser

• Program multiple dive gasses into your computer

WHAT ARE THE PREREQUISITES FOR THIS COURSE?

If you've earned the PADI Open Water Diver rating or higher, and you're at least 12 years old, you can enrol in the PADI Enriched Air Diver course.
