There are 2 ways to dive with Enriched Air.
The first is to complete the PADI Enriched Air Diver Course. This course is designed to teach you the procedures for safe, recreational, no decompression diving with enriched air. You will learn how to plan dives and determine your no decompression limit and your oxygen exposure limits with enriched air.The course includes two training dives using enriched air.
The second is via the PADI try Enriched Air Program (Try Nitrox). This program is designed to allow non Enriched Air Certified divers to experience the benefits of using enriched air, without completing a certification course. No prior knowledge of Enriched air diving is necessary but we do require that participants be at least Advance Open Water certified.
