Enriched Air Diver Course

About this course

Once you sign up for an Enriched Air Diver Course, we assign e-learning materials at the earliest to help you complete theory sections at your pace & convenience, prior to arrival at the dive centre. Thereafter, you attend an instructor-led classroom discussion for a few hours, where you learn – -Gas analysis & maximum depth calculations -Equipment considerations & dive computer set up -Techniques to extend bottom time -Safety procedures including oxygen exposure management You also learn about different kinds of filling systems along with a detailed explanation of their working mechanisms. You can also choose to dive with enriched air after completing the theory portion of your course. However, it is not mandatory for certification. The Enriched Air Diver is PADI’s most popular Specialty Course and for good reason! The air we breathe on surface is approximately 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. Any breathing gas with more oxygen and less nitrogen than this is called enriched air (also known as EANx or nitrox). When using nitrox, you absorb less nitrogen during your dive compared with regular air. This means, you get longer dive times for a given depth and shorter surface intervals between dives. All of this translates into you getting to spend more time underwater! As a certified Enriched Air Diver, you can dive with up to 40% oxygen. Prerequisites: PADI Open Water Diver certification or equivalent
