Maximise your underwater time and reduce post-dive fatigue with the PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver Course. By increasing the oxygen content in your cylinder, Nitrox allows for longer, safer dives, making it an ideal choice for divers looking to enhance their underwater adventures. This course combines online learning with practical instruction to ensure you understand and apply Nitrox procedures confidently.
The course begins with online eLearning, allowing you to study theory at your own pace. You’ll cover the principles of enriched air diving, oxygen exposure limits, and planning considerations for longer dives. The materials are interactive and include quizzes to ensure understanding before moving to practical application.
Practical sessions provide hands-on experience with cylinder analysis and dive computer settings. You’ll learn how to identify the correct Nitrox mix, adjust your equipment safely, and log dives accurately. Instructors will guide you through exercises to develop confidence and competence in applying Nitrox techniques.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to plan and execute dives using Enriched Air safely, benefiting from longer bottom times and reduced fatigue. This course complements your existing skills and prepares you for more ambitious diving adventures.
Training is based at Littlehampton Marina, offering easy access to local dive sites suitable for applying Nitrox skills. The area provides sheltered waters and convenient facilities for practical instruction, ensuring a safe and engaging learning environment.
Nearby dive sites allow for real-world application of Nitrox diving principles. Instructors select locations that provide suitable conditions to reinforce skills learned during practical sessions, from dive computer use to cylinder management.
You should already hold a Jr/Open Water Diver certification or equivalent, demonstrating competence in basic diving skills. A basic medical screening is also required to confirm fitness for diving, particularly when using enriched air mixtures.
Familiarity with standard scuba procedures is recommended, as Nitrox techniques build on your existing knowledge. Comfort with dive planning, equipment use, and underwater problem-solving will ensure you can fully benefit from this specialty course.
The centre is staffed with experienced PADI instructors who provide personalised guidance throughout the course. Their expertise ensures you understand and safely apply Nitrox diving techniques while maximising your underwater experience.
Small group sizes allow for individual attention, ensuring all skills are mastered under expert supervision. With access to modern facilities and high-quality equipment, divers complete the course fully prepared for enriched air diving adventures.
