Enriched Air NITROX Diver

Who should take the PADI Enriched Air NITROX Diver course?

The PADI Enriched Air NITROX Diver course is one of our most popular specialty scuba diving courses. Diving with Enriched Air NITROX (EANx) gives you more no stop bottom time, especially useful when you are diving to (deep) wrecks and/or do a lot of repetitive dives.

If you’re a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver who is at least 12 years old, you can enroll in the PADI Enriched Air NITROX Diver Specialty course. Note that in some regions the minimum age is older than 12.

What will you learn?

During the PADI Enriched Air NITROX Diver course, you’ll learn why diving with air that has higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content gives you more bottom time, along with enriched air equipment considerations. During a practical session, and two optional (or required) scuba dives, you will:

• Discuss managing oxygen exposure.
• Practice analyzing oxygen content in your scuba tank.
• Set your dive computer for diving with Enriched Air NITROX (EANx) .

What gear will you use?

Most modern scuba equipment and dive computers can be used with enriched air, but your PADI Instructor will let you know if your gear meets manufacturer recommendations and local requirements. However, scuba tanks must meet oxygen service standards and be dedicated for use with enriched air. You’ll practice using oxygen analyzers and special cylinder decals.
