Diving is the ultimate experience. I think I was born a fish in a man’s body!
The most popular PADI specialty course.
Enriched Air, also known as “Nitrox”, is a form of breathing gas that allows divers to extend bottom time and reduce nitrogen loading.
You’ll learn why diving with air that has higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content gives you more bottom time, along with enriched air equipment considerations.
During a practical session, and two optional (or required) scuba dives, you’ll:
-Discuss managing oxygen exposure.
-Practice analyzing oxygen content in your scuba tank.
-Set your dive computer for diving with enriched air nitrox.
