PADI Enriched Air Diver Course

Description

PADI Enriched Air Nitrox is a popular scuba diving specialty course offered by PADI. It teaches divers how to use enriched air, also known as nitrox, which is air that has a higher percentage of oxygen (typically 32% or 36%) than regular air (which has about 21% oxygen).

Why Dive with Nitrox?

• Extended bottom times: Because there’s less nitrogen in the mix, your body absorbs less nitrogen during the dive, which reduces the risk of decompression sickness and allows for longer no-decompression limits (NDLs), especially for repetitive dives.
• Shorter surface intervals: You may need less time between dives.
• Less fatigue: Some divers report feeling less tired after diving with nitrox.

What You Learn in the Course:

• How to analyze a nitrox tank.
• How to set your dive computer for the correct oxygen percentage.
• Understanding oxygen exposure limits (oxygen toxicity).
• How to plan dives within the limits of enriched air.

Prerequisites:

• PADI Open Water Diver (or equivalent from another agency).
• Minimum age: 12

How the Course Works:

• It’s a non-diving specialty—you don’t have to get in the water to get certified, though some choose to do practice dives with nitrox.
