Enriched Air - Nitrox Diver
(Visit PADI's "Enriched Air Diver" webpage.)

Welcome to the world of longer dive times!

Diver Dan's is looking forward to helping you get trained as an Enriched Air - Nitrox diver. If you have any questions, or would like to sign up contact us today.

Why become a PADI Enriched Air diver?

By diving with enriched air (EANx) rather than standard air you can extend your no decompression limits. This means more time underwater. For example, if you dive to 15 meters/50 feet on air, your no decompression limit is 80 minutes. But, diving on EANx36 gets you 220 minutes of no decompression time - an increase of 140 minutes.

Plus, the Enriched Air Diver course is the only course that allows students to be enrolled in another course simultaneously.  In other words, a student enrolled in the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course, for example, can also take the PADI Enriched Air Diver course at the same time.

This course is designed to be an introduction to Enriched Air - Nitrox diving and to help develop the skills, knowledge and techniques necessary for Enriched Air diving.
