How the course works

PADI eLearning, at home. At your own pace: what nitrox is, how it changes your no-decompression limits, oxygen exposure and maximum depth. It’s bought separately from PADI; our link is connected to our dive center.
At the shop, about 2 hours. With your instructor, you analyze a nitrox cylinder yourself, check the oxygen percentage, work out the maximum depth for that mix and record it on the tank.
Plan a nitrox dive. You set your dive computer for the mix and plan a dive with it. When you finish, you’re a certified PADI Enriched Air Diver.

What nitrox does, and doesn’t do

Nitrox, or enriched air, has more oxygen and less nitrogen than regular air. Less nitrogen means longer no-decompression times, especially on repeat dives in the 50–100 ft range.

It does not let you go deeper. More oxygen means a shallower maximum depth, which is why you analyze every tank and know its limit before you dive.

Your PADI Enriched Air certification covers mixes up to 40% oxygen. Work out the maximum depth for a mix with our nitrox calculator.

Nitrox fills at the shop

We blend nitrox at our Bayamón shop, in 28–40% mixes. It’s blended midweek, so give us notice. You need to show your nitrox certification card.
