PADI Enriched Air Diver

Have you ever wished that you could have gotten more out of your dive for your dollar? Ever wanted to take that third dive trip of the day but felt too exhausted? Want to extend your bottom time on a research dive? Then Nitrox is for you!

The advantages to Enriched Air diving appeal to a wide range of divers. Not only does it increase bottom times, decrease surface intervals and increase safety from decompression sickness, it also reduces post dive fatigue!

The only disadvantage: pay close attention to max depth and bottom time. Every trained diver does that anyway! Nitrox is easy to learn and even easier to use, why not take advantage of Enriched Air and make the most of your dive!
