PADI Enriched Air Diver
The PADI
Enriched Air Diver course is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba
diving course, and it’s easy to see why. Scuba diving with
enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression dive time. This
means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba
dives.

Your
Next Adventure
Diving with enriched air nitrox benefits all types of diving, but
it goes especially well with these specialties:
-
PADI Wreck Diver course. Popular wrecks tend to be deeper, so
enriched air nitrox maximizes your exploration time.
-
PADI Deep Diver course. The deeper you dive, the shorter your
no stop time – but enriched air nitrox increases it, giving your
more time at depth.
-
PADI Digital Underwater Photographer. Photographers usually
like to make several dives so they can get lots of pictures.
Enriched air nitrox reduces the amount of residual nitrogen you
accumulate, allowing repetitive dives to be longer.
-
PADI Master Scuba Diver. The PADI Enriched Air Diver course
counts toward your Master Scuba Diver rating -- the highest non
professional rating in recreational diving.
