PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Course

Enriched air, commonly referred to as nitrox or EANx, is a breathing gas that contains a lower percentage of nitrogen compared to regular air. This composition allows divers to reduce nitrogen absorption during dives, enabling longer bottom times and shorter surface intervals. It’s no surprise that the Enriched Air Diver specialty is PADI’s most popular course.
