Diving with Enriched Air Nitrox has various benefits for all levels of divers. The Enriched Air Diver course can be done in conjunction with your Open Water Course or at any point further along your diving journey!
Here's why you should consider diving on Enriched Air (also known as Nitrox):
Extended Underwater Adventure
Imagine spending more time exploring that vibrant coral reef or fascinating shipwreck! Nitrox delivers longer bottom times by reducing nitrogen absorption in your body. The science is beautifully simple: more oxygen (between 21-40%) means less nitrogen, allowing you to extend your underwater exploration.

Dive More, Wait Less
With Nitrox, you'll spend less time waiting between dives and more time underwater. Shorter surface intervals mean you can maximize your diving day with multiple dives, perfect for dive vacations when you want to experience everything the underwater world has to offer.
Dive with Greater Comfort and Confidence
Experience a noticeable reduction in post-dive fatigue! The decreased nitrogen load means you'll likely feel more energetic after your dives. Plus, Nitrox significantly reduces the risk of decompression sickness, giving you peace of mind while you focus on the underwater wonders around you.
Perfect for Recreational Diving Depths
While Nitrox isn't designed for extremely deep dives, it's ideal for the depths where most of the ocean's beauty is found (up to 30 meters). This is where colorful reefs thrive and where most recreational divers spend their time anyway!
Easy to Learn
Becoming Nitrox certified is surprisingly quick and straightforward! The PADI specialty course focuses on essential theory and can be completed in just a few hours. Once certified, you'll have access to a whole new dimension of diving without any noticeable difference in how you breathe underwater.
