PADI Nitrox Course – Maximize Your Dive Time with Enriched Air

Want to spend more time exploring the underwater world? The PADI Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) course is the most popular specialty diving course for a reason.

Diving with enriched air (Nitrox) allows you to enjoy longer bottom times, shorter surface intervals, and reduced nitrogen build-up—all while enhancing safety and efficiency.

At Extra Fun Diving Club, we offer professional Nitrox training that equips you with the skills to safely plan and execute Nitrox dives, helping you dive smarter and maximize your underwater experiences.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced diver looking to extend your limits, this course is a game-changer.

Why Choose Nitrox?

Diving with Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) means you’re breathing a gas mixture with a higher oxygen percentage (typically 32% or 36%) and less nitrogen than regular air. This reduced nitrogen content has major benefits for divers:

Extended Bottom Time – Spend more time exploring without hitting no-decompression limits too quickly.
Shorter Surface Intervals – Reduce the wait time between dives and fit more dives into your day.
Less Fatigue – Many divers report feeling less tired after Nitrox dives due to reduced nitrogen absorption.
Safer Diving – Lower nitrogen levels reduce decompression sickness (DCS) risks, making it a smart choice for multi-day diving trips.
Perfect for Liveaboard & Wreck Divers – More bottom time means more opportunity to explore wrecks, reefs, and deep sites.
