PADI Enriched Air Nitrox

The PADI Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) specialty course at Divers Cove is designed to equip you with the knowledge to extend your bottom time and enhance safety margins during dives. This highly sought-after certification focuses on the theoretical aspects of using air with a higher oxygen concentration and lower nitrogen content. You will learn to accurately determine oxygen and nitrogen percentages in your breathing gas, calculate no-decompression limits specific to EANx, and master the management of your overall oxygen exposure. The curriculum also addresses crucial equipment considerations for enriched air, including the use of oxygen-compatible seals and essential analysis procedures. Divers Cove utilizes the PADI eLearning platform, allowing for flexible, self-paced study before you apply your knowledge. This course is typically knowledge-based and may not include open water dives, but it perfectly complements other specialties or dives where Nitrox is utilized.
