About the Course

Nitrox helps you get the most out of your dives by extending your bottom time. Your EANx certification can be completed in just a few hours!

  • Enriched air, also known as nitrox or EANx, contains less nitrogen than regular air.
  • Breathing less nitrogen means you can enjoy longer dives and shorter surface intervals. No wonder Enriched Air Diver is the most popular PADI® specialty.
  • This can be done at any time! No dives required

What to Expect

Learn why nitrox allows you to make longer dives and how to dive nitrox safely. EANx divers need to know what mix they’ve got (and, therefore, their MOD). In the initial phase you'll learn how to analyze a tank with an oxygen analyser to check the percentage of oxygen in the cylinder before diving. Learn how to fill out an enriched air log, and set your dive computer for nitrox. There are two optional dives where you can put to practice your knowledge. You can complete the knowledge portion of this course locally or online with eLearning.
