PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Specialty
What is the Enriched Air (Nitrox) Specialty?

Enriched Air has more oxygen and less nitrogen than normal air, 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen. Enriched air mixtures commonly used include 32% or 36% oxygen and proportionately less nitrogen.

Enriched air is not for diving deeper than normal recreational scuba diving depths. However, when used with standard dive planners, it provides an extra measure of safety from decompression sickness. Or, used with its own tables, you gain significantly in bottom times without exceeding decompression limits.

The new PADI Enriched Air Diver course will teach you how to employ enriched air safely.

What does the course include?
  • 1 classroom session
  • Enriched Air Crew Pack Manual
  • 3 EANx Tables
  • 2 dives *

* One of the dives from the PADI Advanced Open Water Course may be credited to the 2 dive requirement but AOW is not a prerequisite
