PADI Enriched Air – Nitrox Speciality

Description

Extend Your Bottom Time with Nitrox

PADI Enriched Air Diver Course with Dive Club NI

Want to stay down longer and get back in the water sooner? The PADI Enriched Air Diver Specialty — also known as the Nitrox Course — is the most popular PADI specialty for good reason.

By using enriched air nitrox (with more oxygen and less nitrogen than regular air), you’ll enjoy longer no-decompression limits and shorter surface intervals — perfect for repetitive dives, multi-day dive trips, or liveaboards.

Why Take the Nitrox Course?

• Stay underwater longer — especially on deeper dives
• Reduce nitrogen loading between repetitive dives
• Minimize fatigue after diving
• Prepare for liveaboard trips, cold water diving, and deeper specialties
• It’s a must-have course for any serious recreational diver

What You’ll Learn

During your theory and hands-on practical session, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand the benefits and risks of diving with enriched air
• Manage oxygen exposure limits safely
• Use oxygen analyzers to check tank contents
• Set your dive computer for Nitrox mixes
• Identify Nitrox-compatible scuba equipment

Optional: Add 1–2 open water dives to apply your new skills in real-time (ask us about adding dives to your course!).
