PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver Specialty

Dive Longer. Surface Safer. Maximize Your Bottom Time.

The PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver course is one of the most popular and useful scuba specialties available. This course teaches certified divers how to safely plan and dive using enriched air nitrox—a breathing gas with a higher percentage of oxygen than standard air.

By reducing nitrogen exposure, nitrox allows for longer no-decompression limits, shorter surface intervals, and increased safety margins, making it ideal for repetitive dives, liveaboards, and dive vacations.
