PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Course

Enhance your diving experience by extending your bottom time and reducing surface intervals with the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox course. This course enables divers to use Enriched Air Nitrox, a mix with higher oxygen content, which decreases nitrogen absorption and leaves you feeling more energetic after a dive.

Course Breakdown

The Enriched Air Nitrox training enables you to stay underwater for longer, making it ideal for exploring wrecks like the Thistlegorm or observing marine life at your leisure. If you plan to do multiple dives in a day or throughout your holiday, using Nitrox helps you feel less fatigued—a benefit confirmed by many dive guides and instructors.

The practical session focuses on analysing the oxygen content in your scuba cylinder, logging the results accurately, and setting your dive computer for the specific oxygen mix. These practical skills can be conducted at any of our pool locations, open water locations, or during one of our club trips. Upon successful completion, you will receive a PADI Enriched Air Diver certification card, enabling you to use Nitrox worldwide.
