PADI Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) Specialty Course

Extend your bottom time, shorten your surface intervals

PADI Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) Specialty Course

Maximize every dive with oxygen-enriched air

The PADI Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) Specialty is one of the most popular and useful dive certifications worldwide. Diving with oxygen-enriched air reduces nitrogen absorption, allowing for longer dives and shorter surface intervals. Whether you’re planning a liveaboard trip, deep dives, or multiple dive days, learning to use Nitrox will improve your endurance and reduce post-dive fatigue.

– Increase your bottom time and reduce nitrogen absorption
– Shorten surface intervals between dives
– Feel less fatigued after multiple dives
