Drift Diver
It feels like flying – except that you’re underwater using scuba equipment. Drift diving can be relaxing and exhilarating at the same time.
Enriched Air Diver
The most popular PADI specialty course.
Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression time, especially on repetitive scuba dives. Enriched Air, also known as “nitrox”, is a form of breathing gas that allows divers to extend bottom time and reduce nitrogen loading.
PADI Enriched Air Diver Online can be completed in an afternoon. After completing your online learning you’ll apply the knowledge you’ve learned by practicing procedures for obtaining and analysing enriched air with us. You also have the option of completing two open water enriched air dives.
What you will learn
During this specialty you will 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 scuba dives, you’ll:
- Discuss managing oxygen exposure
- Practice analysing oxygen content in your scuba tank
- Set your dive computer for diving with enriched air nitrox
- Learn about equipment like an oxygen analyser
