Well, in simple terms diving with enriched air (nitrox) gives you more “no decompression time” than diving on air (due to slower nitrogen build-up), allowing you to stay down longer at the same depth without going into decompression. So it’s great if you’re doing a series of repetitive dives, for example on a liveaboard holiday. For this reason, the Enriched Air Diver course is PADI’s most popular specialty course. 

This course is generally held in Go Dive’s dedicated classroom (1/2 day, 09:00-13:00, plus home study). During the course you will learn:
• Techniques for getting more dive time by using enriched air (nitrox).
• Enriched air scuba diving equipment considerations.
• Enriched air considerations, including managing oxygen exposure.
• How to tell what’s in your cylinder and how to set your dive computer correctly.

An option is available, once qualified, for you to try diving on enriched air while accompanied by one of Go Dive’s professional staff.

Go Dive price: £99 (optional - 2 accompanied Nitrox dives at Stoney Cove  add £30)
