PADI Enriched Air Nitrox

Not a certified Nitrox diver yet? No problem, it’s easy and fast to learn! In a day you can become a PADI Enriched Air Diver and continue your diving adventures on EANx32! 

Enriched air, also known as nitrox or EANx, contains less nitrogen than regular air, which means that you will absorb less nitrogen and extend your bottom time!

In case you are still asking why you should dive with nitrox:

  • Longer Bottom Times

  • Shorter Surface Intervals

  • Longer Repetitive Dive Times

  • Reduced Exhaustion

The PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) course can also count towards your PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.

PRICE

$200 per person

How long does it take?
