Enriched air nitrox gives more no-decompression time, especially when the day holds more than one dive, and this PADI Enriched Air Diver course shows how to use that extra window with a clear plan. One focused day from Port de Sóller covers the mix, the limits and two supervised dives so the theory is not left on the classroom table. Your instructor stays with the planning from the first briefing to the last ascent.
Land briefings walk through the mix, the extra no-decompression time, and how to check a cylinder before it goes on your back. Two supervised dives then use that plan in the water off Port de Sóller, with your instructor watching how the numbers survive contact with a real site and whether the extra bottom time is used calmly rather than spent wandering.
Debriefs between dives look at how the extra time was used and whether the limits still felt comfortable. You will log both dives so the next nitrox day starts from a known point. Once the knowledge work and both dives are signed off, PADI Enriched Air Diver certification is processed.
Port de Sóller is a working harbour on Mallorca's northwest coast, with boat access to reefs that suit a pair of training dives on the same day. The bay keeps the start of the day sheltered while the open water sits just beyond the headlands.
Gas checks stay at the marina, so cylinders, kit and the boat stay in one place. That compact setup makes a one-day nitrox course feel unhurried rather than rushed.
This specialty builds on air diving, so you should already be a certified scuba diver. Comfortable open-water habits leave more attention for the new planning numbers.
Bring an existing certification card and logbook so readiness can be confirmed. Anyone unsure should tell us so we can check before day one.
Three decades of harbour mornings in Port de Sóller have given our team a feel for this stretch of coast that no map can replace. We are a five-star PADI centre on Mallorca's northwest coast, with daily boats, guided dives, snorkel trips and courses from beginner skills through to professional training. Safety and small groups shape how those days run, and the marine environment is treated as something to protect.
You'll work with skippers and instructors who already know the reefs, caves and open water, so planning stays practical. Hospitality and well-maintained kit are part of the morning. Private days are available when you want the boat and crew to yourselves.
Enriched air nitrox is the focus: how the mix changes no-decompression time, especially on repetitive dives, and how to plan those dives safely. Land work comes first, then two supervised dives put the planning in the water.
By the end the aim is to read a nitrox label with confidence, stay inside the planned limits, and enjoy the extra bottom time without guessing.
Plan for a single day and two dives, with around five hours of service time. Morning briefing starts at 10:00 unless another window is agreed.
Finish time depends on how the knowledge work and the two dives run. The shape of the day is confirmed with you before you arrive.
Come to the harbour in Port de Sóller. Briefing, gas checks and kit happen here before the boat leaves.
Anyone coming from Sóller town or further along the coast should allow time for the harbour road and nearby parking. Arrival notes follow once the place is confirmed.
This course is for certified divers who already dive on air and want to add nitrox. It is not a first-time diving experience.
Bring a certification card and logbook so previous dives can be checked. Anyone unsure about readiness should tell us so we can check before the first dive.
You'll leave with PADI Enriched Air Diver once the instructor signs off the knowledge work and the two dives. The card is processed after that sign-off.
The new qualification sits alongside the existing card and is recognised wherever PADI credentials are accepted.
Bring the usual dive-day kit: swimwear, a towel, a warm layer for the boat, sun protection, plus the existing certification card and logbook. Personal medication should stay with you for the day.
Anything else needed is confirmed before the first morning. Valuables that are not needed for the dives are better left at the accommodation.
Nitrox dives still need a settled sea. If the forecast or the harbour look wrong, the two dives move rather than going ahead in poor conditions.
A message goes out as soon as the day has to shift. Knowledge work can still be covered on land if the water is the only problem.
Nobody is handed a nitrox cylinder without a clear briefing, and groups stay small enough for that. Planning and in-water habits are watched on both dives.
Groups stay small so the instructor can watch every student.
