PADI Nitrox Air Diver Course
Description
Using hyperoxic air (enriched air nitrox, or EANx) instead of standard air when diving can extend your no-decompression limit. In other words, you can stay underwater for a longer period of time.
For example, if you dive to a depth of 15 meters / 50 feet, the no-decompression limit is 80 minutes. However, by using EANx 36 for the dive, the no-decompression limit can be extended to 120 minutes - an increase of 40 minutes.
The use of EANx allows you to extend your underwater time before requiring decompression stops on your way back to the surface.

3 main benefits of the enriched air Nitrox Diving course:
Extend no-decompression time
You can stay underwater longer. Typically, when diving to a depth of 15 meters using regular air, the no-decompression limit is 80 minutes. But by using EANx 36 for the dive, the no-decompression limit can be extended to 120 minutes.Reduce surface interval time
When using enriched air nitrox, your body accumulates less nitrogen during the dive. This allows you to shorten the surface interval time between dives.Maximize your energy output
If you plan to do multiple dives in a day, such as on a liveaboard trip, using enriched air nitrox can help reduce the nitrogen buildup in your body after each dive. Many divers report feeling less fatigued after dives when using EANx, allowing them to have more energy and stamina to explore the underwater environment for longer and take better photos.
