PADI Enriched Air/Nitrox Speciality Course

We are London’s premier PADI dive school and the only dive centre in the capital with a purpose-built, heated scuba pool. Whether you're new to diving, refreshing your skills, or working towards professional certification, our expert instructors are here to support you every step of the way.

Why Take the PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Course?

Enriched Air Nitrox is a gas mix with higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content than regular air. This means:

• Longer bottom times – Extend your dive time within no-decompression limits
• Shorter surface intervals – Get back in the water sooner
• Reduced nitrogen absorption – Less fatigue after multiple dives
• Ideal for deeper or repetitive dives – Maximise your underwater experience

For example:

• At 30 metres, you can stay 35 minutes on nitrox instead of 20 minutes on air
• At 18 metres, nitrox allows you 95 minutes of dive time instead of 56 minutes on air

That’s more time exploring reefs, wrecks, and marine life without cutting your dive short!
