PADI Enriched Air Diver
One of the most limiting factors in diving is the lack of time before reaching "No Stop Limits". This is particularly frustrating for the underwater photographer, who is all too often faced with reaching their limits before finishing their objectives.
One of the options to gain an increase in bottom time is the use of Enriched Air Nitrox - air that has been enriched with additional oxygen. With proper use, Enriched Air can increase bottom time significantly. But there are additional considerations for safety.
This course consists of thorough theory relating to advantages and disadvantages relating to enriched air, dive planning, oxygen exposure, dive emergencies, multilevel diving and oxygen analysis and fill logging. There are 2 fun dives where you will apply your new knowledge, and experience first hand the benefits of enriched air. At the end of this course, you'll be certified as a PADI Enriched Air Diver, allowing you to make recreational, no-decompression dives using Enriched Air with up to 40% oxygen.
For those interested in technical applications of diving with enriched air, please see our Tec Diving Courses page.
