The PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Specialty Course is PADI’s most popular specialty—and for good reason. Diving with enriched air nitrox allows for longer no-decompression limits, especially on repetitive dives, making it ideal for boat diving and multi-day dive trips.
This course focuses on understanding nitrox theory, safety limits, and practical use.
