Enriched Air (Nitrox): Stay Down Longer

This is the most popular PADI specialty for a reason. By breathing air with more oxygen, you get more "no-decompression" time and often feel less tired after a day of diving. It’s a must-have for anyone planning a big trip or multiple dives in one day.

Serious fun. This course is often described as the most challenging and rewarding step in a diver's education. You'll learn to manage stress, handle equipment issues, and respond to emergencies, becoming the most reliable person in the water.
