Specialty Courses
PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver

Why PADI Enriched Air Diver?

By diving with enriched air (air with added oxygen) rather than standard air you can extend your no decompression limits. This means more time underwater. For example, if you dive to 30 metres on air, your no decompression limit is 20 minutes. But, diving on EANx36 gets you 35 minutes of no decompression time - an increase of 15 minutes! (75%)

What do I need to start?

Have a minimum certification of PADI Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from another organization)
Be at least 12 years of age

What will I do?

The PADI Enriched Air Diver Specialty certification emphasizes the theoretical and operational considerations involved with enriched air diving.

You will watch a Gas Blender mixing a Nitrox fill and then analyse two blends yourself, under supervision of your instructor.

How long will it take?

e-Learning based knowledge development
One evening with your instructor covering practical sessions and dive computer settings
Optional Nitrox dive with an Instructor available at extra cost - ask your instructor for details
