Course Select
The PADI Enriched Air - Nitrox Specialty is for those wishing to extend their dive profile times, allowing you to see that little bit extra underwater.
On many dives, underwater time is governed by our no decompression limits. By increasing the oxygen and decreasing the nitrogen content of our breathing gas we can safely increase these limits. For example, we can stay at 30 metres for twenty minutes on air. This can be safely increased to thirty-five minutes with the correct enriched air mix so prolonging our enjoyment of the dive. At 18 metres using air you can stay for 56 minutes but this can be extended to 95 minutes. That’s a lot of quality reef time!
We do two versions of this course "Wet" and "Dry"
Both courses include online Nitrox eLearning, that you will need to read and complete before we meet.
With the "Dry" course we will meet in a classroom to show you how to analyse the gas and give you some pointers on how to set your computer up to use enriched air.
With the “Wet” course we do exactly the same but waterside just before we go for actual dive using nitrox.
