PADI Enriched Air Diver - Nitrox
The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba course. Why? Because scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression time, especially on repetitive scuba dives. If staying down longer and getting back in the water sooner sounds appealing, then don’t hesitate to become an enriched air diver.
The open water dives are no longer a requirement for the Nitrox course. The Nitrox course academic portion is only available online via eLearning. Once you complete the eLearning or book/video, call or email us to make an appointment with one of our PADI Nitrox instructors conduct a Nitrox cylinder analyzing and dive computer procedures presentation with you. This takes approximately 20 minutes. Afterwards, you walk away with a shiny new PADI Enriched Air Nitrox card!!!
Cost: $249
