Venturing into the PADI Enriched Air Diver (Nitrox) specialty opens a new dimension in diving, offering enthusiasts the chance to extend their bottom time and minimize post-dive fatigue. This program introduces divers to the benefits and considerations of using enriched air nitrox, providing valuable insights into dive planning and safety. By becoming a PADI Enriched Air Diver, individuals not only enhance their diving skills but also gain a valuable tool for optimizing their underwater experiences. Dive into the world of Nitrox and unlock the potential for longer, more enjoyable dives with the PADI Enriched Air Diver certification.
  Longer Safe Diving  
The Class, Explained.
Do you enjoy diving about 60-100 ft deep but find yourself limited by your decompression time rather than your remaining air pressure? Nitrox is for you! This is the most popular PADI specialty for good reason. Learn how to dive safely with Enriched Air using different gas mixtures, determine the Maximum Operating Depth, and calculate equivalent air depths. You will also learn how to use oxygen analyzers and Nitrox dive computers.
 
What is Enriched Air Nitrox (EAN)?
EAN is a mixture of gas with a higher percentage of oxygen than typically found in a Normoxic cylinder of air which is 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen. Depending on the anticipated dive profile, the most common mixtures of Nitrox you will find are 28%, 32% and 36% oxygen.
What are the benefits of diving with Enriched Air Nitrox?

The primary benefits of diving with EAN are:

  1. Longer Theoretical Bottom Times (longer dives)
  2. Shortened surface intervals
  3. Less likelihood of experiencing Decompressions Sickness or “the bends”
  4. While scientists still find the subject controversial, it’s become commonplace to expect less fatigue, and faster overall physical and mental recovery when diving with Enriched Air.
Why should I get certified for Enriched Air Nitrox (EAN)?
Aside from the benefits listed above, your EAN certification is a prerequisite to more advanced diving certifications such as gas blending, tri-mix, and technical diving. It also allows you to go to many exotic locations that require Nitrox. Most liveaboards, or full day charters that include 3 or more dives will require participants to be EAN certified. Destinatiosn that require EAN certifications are some of the most desirable dive locations in the world. Finally, diving with a NITROX cylinder gives you a certain status among your diving peers. You are generally perceived as a more capabile and experienced diver which will get you some well-deserved respect from your divemasters, captains and instructors.
