Curso PADI Enriched Air Diver

The PADI Enriched Air Diver specialty course at CID Lanzarote offers a significant enhancement to your diving capabilities, focusing on the theory and procedures for utilizing enriched air nitrox. This certification is highly sought after as it allows for extended bottom times and increased safety margins by using a gas mixture with a higher oxygen concentration and lower nitrogen content than standard air. You will learn how to plan dives with nitrox, determine the appropriate oxygen percentage for your planned depth, and manage your overall oxygen exposure, a crucial skill for any serious diver.

CID Lanzarote provides a comprehensive knowledge development portion, which can be completed through self-study or in a classroom setting with their experienced instructors. The practical application involves learning to accurately analyze the gas in your cylinder and correctly label it, ensuring you are prepared for real-world diving scenarios. While this specialty does not include in-water dives, the skills acquired are immediately applicable, enabling you to maximize your time underwater, particularly on repetitive dives, and reduce nitrogen absorption.

With average air temperatures ranging from 19.1°C in December to 24.3°C in August, and sea temperatures consistently around 20.2°C, Lanzarote offers a comfortable diving environment year-round for your future enriched air dives. The course is designed to be completed within a single day, making it an efficient way to boost your diving qualifications. This specialty is particularly beneficial for divers looking to extend their exploration time and shorten surface intervals, allowing for more opportunities to discover the underwater world.
