Nitrox

The PADI Enriched Air Diver (Nitrox) specialty course at FAISHASUB is the most sought-after PADI specialty, designed to introduce divers to the advantages of breathing enriched air, which has a lower nitrogen content than standard air. This fundamental knowledge allows for extended bottom times and reduced surface intervals, significantly enhancing the overall diving experience.

This course delves into the theoretical aspects of safely utilizing nitrox. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of EANx (Enriched Air Nitrox) properties and master the crucial skill of analyzing gas mixtures. The curriculum explains precisely why diving with nitrox can extend dive durations and outlines the procedures for safe nitrox diving, primarily through independent online study. The minimum age for this specialty is 12 years.

Following the online learning phase, students will engage in practical exercises with their PADI Instructor. While two optional dives can be incorporated, the core focus of this specialty lies in acquiring theoretical knowledge and practical gas analysis skills. The course is typically completed within one day, with all eLearning materials, in-person theory sessions, and certification fees included in the 130 EUR price.

FAISHASUB, a PADI-certified dive center, offers this essential specialty. The PADI Enriched Air Diver certification is highly recommended for all certified divers aiming to maximize their underwater exploration time. It equips them with valuable knowledge about gas mixtures, leading to more efficient and enjoyable dives. This specialty is a logical next step for divers looking to build upon their existing certifications and explore more with greater confidence and extended bottom times.
