GET READY FOR YOUR NITROX SPECIALTY
Before using enriched air, you need to know exactly what is in your tank and how that changes your dive plan.
We keep the process clear, practical and easy to follow.
Before You Arrive
You can start your PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Specialty materials in your own time. They introduce nitrox basics, oxygen exposure, maximum operating depth and how enriched air affects dive planning.
When You Meet Us
We check your certification, medical form and course setup, then show you how to analyse your cylinder, record the gas mix and enter the right settings into your dive computer.
UNDERSTAND WHAT’S IN YOUR TANK
Nitrox is popular because it gives certified divers more flexibility, especially on repetitive dive days.
The important part is knowing how to use it properly.
Less Guessing, Better Planning
You learn how oxygen percentage, nitrogen loading and depth limits all connect, so your dive plan is based on real numbers rather than assumptions.
This makes Nitrox especially useful if you are planning several dives, joining a dive holiday or combining it with deeper specialty training.
A Practical Skill For Future Dives
You will know how to check the gas mix yourself, set your computer correctly and understand the limits before the dive begins.
The course is not about making diving complicated.
It is about making your planning clearer.
