Content of course

The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI's most popular specialty scuba diving course, and it's easy to see why. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives.

This course takes you back into the principles of physics, that you just scratched the surface of on your first diving course. You will have to learn and understand the laws of Boyle-Mariotte, Henry and Dalton to be able to calculate all aspects of a dive with Nitrox, up to 40% Oxygen, to reduce risks and to prevent accidents.

The PADI EAN Diver Licence allows you to dive with Nitrox up to EAN40.

Duration of the course

Minimum 2 days, but dives may also be spread over several days. This course can be started any day.
