Want to extend your bottom time and make the best of your dives? Enriched Air, often simply referred to as Nitrox, is breathing gas that has a higher concentration of oxygen. The higher oxygen content means that divers have longer no decompression limits. Also, though it has yet to be proven, nitrox is suspected to help relieve fatigue in divers that often comes from extended exposures to nitrogen that comes from breathing compressed air. Also, Enriched Air Diver is one of the few specialty courses that PADI offers that do not require open water dives.
The Enriched Air Diver course teaches students about the process by which diving with higher percentages of oxygen and lower nitrogen can increase diver’s bottom time. Divers will also learn about how to manage the risks of diving with higher concentrations of oxygen. Also, students will learn to analyze the contents of their tank and how to manipulate their dive computers to safely dive with nitrox.
