PADI Enriched Air Diver — Enriched Air Specialty (Nitrox)

Enriched Air Specialty: dive longer, recover better

Enriched air, or Nitrox, is the most commonly used breathing gas by recreational divers after standard air. What makes it special? A higher oxygen content, which reduces nitrogen absorption and allows you to stay longer at certain depths — and recover faster between dives.

In just one day, under the supervision of a specialized PADI instructor, you will learn all the rules you need to know to dive safely with Nitrox. You will be able to analyze the oxygen percentage in a tank, understand the effects of enriched air on your body, plan your dives accordingly, and use this mixture effectively in practice.

Once certified as a PADI Enriched Air Diver, you can dive with Nitrox worldwide — and fully enjoy Aquanaut's daily excursions in Bacuit Bay with reduced surface intervals and more energy between dives.

Important: This course is open to ages 12 and up. The minimum required level is PADI Open Water Diver (or PADI-recognized equivalent). No ocean dives are required to obtain this certification — the training is primarily theoretical and practical on land.

Ideal for:

• Divers who want to maximize their bottom time during daily excursions
• Those who make multiple dives per day and want to reduce their fatigue
• Divers preparing for their Advanced Open Water or Deep Diver certification
• Anyone wishing to understand breathing gases and their effects
• Certified divers who want to enhance their PADI skill profile
