Is the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox course suitable for all levels of divers?

Yes, it is designed for certified divers looking to enhance their skills and extend dive times, but you must already hold a basic open water certification.

How does enriched air differ from regular scuba air?

Enriched air nitrox contains a higher percentage of oxygen, allowing you to stay underwater longer and reducing nitrogen absorption, which can lessen decompression times.

Are there any health restrictions for taking this course?

Participants should be in good health with normal lung function; consult your physician if you have respiratory or cardiovascular concerns.

What is the maximum depth allowed for Nitrox dives?

Typically, Nitrox dives are limited to 130 feet (40 meters), but your instructor will advise based on your experience and certification level.

Do I need prior experience to enroll?

You must be a certified diver with a valid certification to participate in this course; no prior Nitrox experience is required.

What should I bring for the course?

Bring your certification card, valid ID, swimwear, and a desire to explore the underwater world safely and responsibly.
