Whether they’re exploring a new reef or getting the perfect shot of a pygmy seahorse, no one likes to feel the buzz of their dive computer as they approach the no-decompression limit. What if we told you there’s an easy way to stay deeper for longer?
With a PADI EANx certification, you’ll be qualified to rent nitrox tanks at most dive shops. Nitrox contains more oxygen than standard air, preventing you from accumulating the nitrogen that leads to decompression sickness. You’ll get more no-decompression time at depth, especially on repetitive scuba dives.
In this course, You’ll learn why air withdiving with air that has higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content gives you more bottom time, along with enriched air equipment considerations.
