PADI Specialty Enriched Air - Nitrox

Dive longer, learn and earn your title for diving with Nitrox

Enriched air (EAN) or Nitrox is a mixture of gases with a higher oxygen concentration than normal air. This allows you to have longer no-deco times and to extend your dive time. You can also reduce the risk of decompression by absorbing less nitrogen.

Another advantage is to shorten the surface interval and minimize fatigue. Diving with Nitrox is easy, underwater itself are no special measures necessary. Rather, it is necessary to learn what Nitrox is and how the use of enriched air influences the planning of your dive.

The most common mixtures are Nitrox 32 and 36 with a concentration of 32% oxygen and 68% nitrogen and 36% oxygen and 64% nitrogen.
