PADI Enriched Air Nitrox
Course Overview
Diving with enriched air nitrox lets you safely extend your no-stop time beyond the no decompression limits for air. Diving with enriched air means more time underwater - but you need to be certified as an EANx Diver to get enriched air fills.
Whether you're into under water photography or wreck diving, on vacation in some tropical paradise or just out for a leisurely day of diving at your local dive site, the EANx Diver course helps you get more out of diving by giving you more time underwater.
