PADI Enriched Air Speciality Course
Enriched air, also known as nitrox or EANx, contains less nitrogen than regular air. Breathing less nitrogen means you can enjoy longer dives and shorter surface intervals. No wonder Enriched Air Diver is the most popular PADI® specialty. It is also a pre-requisite for many live aboard boats particularly those with a 3-dive per day itinerary.
Most of our PADI Speciality courses are very personal experiences often on a one-to-one basis with one of our award-winning team, if a suitable date isn’t shown below, please call the office on 01243 202200 to discuss arranging a suitable date.

This course has the added extra that it can be credited towards one of the elective dives in the Advanced Open Water Course.
This is also one of those courses’ ideal for the winter months as it can be taught in two formats: -
- Dry course - £200.
- You will undertake the e-Learning in the normal way before attending a classroom where your instructor will let you analyse and enriched air mix and discuss things like changing the settings in your computer.
- Wet Course - £300.
- You will undertake everything the same as the Dry Course but the classroom section will be done at a dive site where you can actually purchase and use an enriched air mix, giving you real life experience of using Nitrox.
During the course you will learn about: -
- The advantages of using enriched air.
