About the course
The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI's most popular specialty, and it's easy to see why. Diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no-decompression dive time – which means more time underwater, especially on repetitive dives. You can typically stay down longer and get back in the water sooner. No wonder many divers choose this as their very first specialty.
