Dive longer with less nitrogen
The PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Diver course, also known as Nitrox, is the most popular PADI specialty certification — and for good reason. It lets you extend your bottom time on repetitive dives while absorbing less nitrogen, so you enjoy more time underwater and shorter surface intervals.
Enriched Air Nitrox is a breathing gas with a higher percentage of oxygen (typically 32% or 36%) and less nitrogen than regular air. In about 4 hours of theory — a dry course — you’ll learn to analyse a tank, set your dive computer and manage your maximum operating depth, guided by a PADI instructor with a maximum of 4 students.
