Enriched Air Specialty Instructor

PADI Enriched air Specialty Instructor

Enriched air nitrox (EANx) has become established as a tool for increasing no stop (no decompression) dive time. While you once had to search to find a dive computer that you can set to use with EANx, today, virtually all dive computers available are capable of calculating nitrox dives. Combining enriched air nitrox with dive computers simplifies EANx dive planning and control. It maximizes your no stop dive time, yet helps you remain well within the limits.

As PADI Enriched Air Specialty instructor, you will be able to teach student divers the way recreational divers dive with nitrox in this course, you’ll be able to show them the benefits, potential problems, equipment considerations and other information they need to dive enriched air nitrox. You’ll also teach them some simple, but important, skills to understand.
