Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver

PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver Course

Looking to maximize your dive time and reduce fatigue? The PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver Course is one of the most popular PADI specialties, allowing you to safely dive with air that has a higher oxygen content and less nitrogen. By using Enriched Air Nitrox, you can extend your no-decompression limits, especially on repetitive dives, meaning more time underwater and shorter surface intervals.

What You’ll Learn:

The PADI Enriched Air Diver Course teaches you how to safely plan and dive with Enriched Air Nitrox (up to 40% oxygen). Key topics include:

• Benefits of Diving with Nitrox: Learn how diving with a higher oxygen mix allows for longer bottom times and shorter surface intervals.

• Oxygen Exposure Management: Understand oxygen limits, how to avoid oxygen toxicity, and how to plan dives within safe limits.

• Analyzing Nitrox Tanks: Learn how to properly use an oxygen analyzer to verify the oxygen content in your scuba tank.

• Nitrox Dive Planning: Master the use of enriched air tables or a dive computer to plan your dives and track oxygen exposure over multiple dives.
