Enriched Air / Nitrox

Your exploration journey to the depth starts here

Level 1 - PADI Open Water Course

From 520.00 AED

About the Course

Enriched Air Nitrox is one of the most popular scuba specialties because it allows divers to reduce nitrogen absorption by using a breathing gas with a higher oxygen percentage than standard air. On the live page, Nemo explains that Nitrox can help divers stay down longer, shorten surface intervals, and feel less tired after repetitive dives, making it especially useful for liveaboards, deeper diving days, and multi-day dive trips. This enriched air diver course is ideal for divers who want practical knowledge they can use right away on local dives, travel dives, and dive holidays. As a focused specialty, it introduces the core principles of nitrox diving, including gas analysis, oxygen exposure awareness, correct cylinder labeling, and dive computer setup.
