*COVID-19 Update: Due to the ongoing pandemic and social distancing guidelines, we are only offering courses via e-learning until further notice. Thank you for your cooperation.*

The PADI Enriched Air Diver course (Basic Nitrox) is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba course. Why? Because scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression time, especially on repetitive scuba dives. If staying down longer and getting back in the water sooner sounds appealing, then don’t hesitate to become an enriched air diver.

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

Product Description

    Why take the PADI Enriched Air Diver course?

    Chart shows dive times in minutes:
    Air vs Enriched Air

      What will you learn?

      You’ll learn why diving with gas 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’ll:

      • Discuss managing oxygen exposure.
      • Practice analyzing oxygen content in your scuba tank.
      • Set your dive computer for diving with enriched air nitrox.

      How can you start learning now?

      Sign up for Enriched Air Diver Online – PADI’s eLearning option – to get started immediately. The web-based system covers all the enriched air diver course content and allows you to study at your own pace through an easy-to-use, interactive program. You also have access to an online version of the Enriched Air Diver Manual.
      You can also choose to read the Enriched Air Diver Manual and watch the Enriched Air Diving video. Stop by our dive shop to enroll in the course, get your materials and start learning.

      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. Your Instructor and Aquarius Scuba staff will explain other equipment you may need to enjoy enriched air diving.
