Enriched Air Diver Course

Become an enriched air diver so you can stay down longer and get back in the water sooner.

The PADI Enriched Air Diver Specialty course is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba course. Why? Because scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no-decompression time, especially on repetitive scuba dives.

What you will learn

You’ll learn why diving with air that has higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content gives you more bottom time, along with enriched air equipment considerations. During a practical session, and two training scuba dives, you’ll:

  • Discuss managing oxygen exposure.
  • Practice analysing oxygen content in your scuba tank.
  • Set your dive computer for diving with enriched air nitrox.

Course pre-requisites

  • Minimum 15 years old (minimum 12 years old for Junior Open Water Diver)
  • Completed a PADI Open Water Diver certification or equivalent 

Course dates

  • Flexible course – start and complete whenever it suits you
  • Add this course to any reef trip we offer, either a day trip or a liveaboard (overnight)
  • Short on time? We also can run the course as a dry course as dives are optional. Contact us for your flexible course
