PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver
By diving with enriched air rather than standard air you can extend your no decompression limits. This means more time underwater. For example, if you dive to 15 metres/50 feet on air, your no decompression limit is 80 minutes. But, diving on EANx36 gets you 220 minutes of no decompression time - an increase of 140 minutes. The Enriched Air Diver Course is a non diving course and involves classroom study only and after qualification you can then put it into practice.
