Become a PADI Enriched Air Diver – the most popular of PADI’s specialty certifications. Diving with enriched air (nitrox) gives you more no decompression time, especially on repetitive scuba dives. If staying down longer and getting back into the water sooner sounds appealing, then don’t hesitate to become an enriched air diver. You’ll learn why diving with air that has a higher oxygen content gives you more bottom time, and how to properly use enriched air. You’ll learn safety concerns and best-practices, how to analyze oxygen content in your scuba tank, and how to properly set your dive computer for enriched air.

• If you’re at least 12 years old and have your Open Water Diver certification, you may enroll in the Enriched Air Diver Specialty course.
