The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba diving course and it’s easy to see why! Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more 'no decompression' dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives.

The Enriched Air Diver crewpak includes all required materials to complete PADI’s Enriched Air Diver specialty. Upon enrollment, you'll receive the PADI Enriched Air Diver manual that will provide you with the essential knowledge you'll need to safely handle and dive enriched air nitrox mixes to a maximum of 40% oxygen. You'll learn all about the equipment and maintenance considerations of diving nitrox (including all UK-specific regulations) and explore the potential hazards that nitrox diving presents. To maximise the benefits of nitrox diving, you'll also learn how to plan enriched air nitrox dives using the DSAT 32% and 36% dive tables and also track your oxygen exposure using the NOAA Oxygen Exposure table.

Under the supervision of your PADI instructor, you'll learn the correct procedures for safely obtaining nitrox fills. During a number of practical 'hands on' sessions, you'll be shown how to analyse the oxygen content of a nitrox fill using a variety of different oxygen analysers and how to accurately and clearly log and record the readings you obtain.
