Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver

So, you’ve heard about Nitrox. But what is it and how do you use it?

Well, in simple terms diving with enriched air (nitrox) gives you more no decompression time than diving on air (due to slower nitrogen build-up), allowing you to stay down longer at the same depth without going into decompression. So, it’s great if you’re doing a series of repetitive dives, for example on a liveaboard holiday. For this reason, the Enriched Air Diver course is PADI’s most popular speciality course.

This course is generally held in Go Dive’s dedicated classroom (1/2 day, 09:00-13:00, plus home study).

During the course you will learn:

• Techniques for getting more dive time by using enriched air (nitrox).
• Enriched air scuba diving equipment considerations.
• Enriched air considerations, including managing oxygen exposure.
• How to tell what’s in your cylinder and how to set your dive computer correctly.
