PADI Enriched Air(Nitrox) Specialty

Nitrox_1By diving with enriched air rather than standard air (21% oxygen) you can extend your no decompression limits. This means more time underwater. For example, if you dive to 30 metres/100 feet on air, your no decompression limit is 20 minutes. But, diving on EANx36 (36% oxygen) gets you 35 minutes of no decompression time - what almost doubles your no decompression limit!

The PADI Enriched Air Diver Specialty certification emphasizes the theoretical and operational considerations involved with enriched air diving, how to get an enriched air fill and how to correctly analyse it.
