The PADI Nitrox / Enriched Air Diver Speciality Course teach recreational divers how to use Nitrox enriched air during dives. Scuba divers get more ‘no decompression’ dive time when diving with Nitrox enriched air, meaning you can dive for longer, deeper and do repetitive scuba diving.
Diving with Nitrox Enriched air benefits all types of diving, but it goes especially well with the following specialties:
- PADI Wreck Diver course – Diving with Nitrox enriched air enables the diver to do much deeper wreck dives with more exploration time.
- PADI Deep Diver course – The deeper you dive, the less time you have underwater. Diving with Nitrox enriched air enables you to dive deeper and spend more time at depth.
- PADI Digital Underwater Photographer – Underwater Photographers needs to do numerous dives in order to get the pictures they are after. Diving with Nitrox enriched air decreases the amount of remaining nitrogen you collect, allowing you longer repetitive dives.
