Emergency Oxygen Provider

Knowing how and when to use emergency oxygen is an important skill for scuba divers, boat crew, lifeguards and anyone who may be called upon to help an injured diver.

Emergency First Response (EFR) Instructor

CPR and first aid are key skills that are important to everyone, not just scuba divers. As an Emergency First Response Instructor, you teach skills based on internationally recognized emergency care guidelines, and you can offer courses to anyone. The great thing about EFR courses is they make learning easy by providing a comfortable environment to practice emergency care skills. Your students finish the course feeling confident with their new skills and ready to help someone in need.

The only requirements are that you're at least 18 years old and have Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months. An EFR Instructor rating is required to become a PADI Instructor, but you don't have to wait until you're ready to go pro. You can complete or refresh this training during your PADI Instructor training.

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.
