Get the most popular PADI® Specialty: Enriched Air Nitrox Program!

1 day | 2 Open Water Dives

Enjoy longer dives with more no decompression dive time: see more, enjoy longer and smile bigger!

The Enriched Air Diver course is PADI's most popular specialty, scuba diving. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox offers you more no decompression dive time. You can generally stay down longer and get back to the water sooner.

Diving with NITROX means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives. Many divers choose this specialty as their first one.

Get the most out of your dive travels, see more marine life and enjoy longer dive times!

Why use Enriched Air?

Enriched air (Nitrox or EANx) is a mixture of breathing gas that contains more oxygen than regular air (and therefore less Nitrogen).

Get that unique blend of gas and enrich your diving experience!

The amount of Nitrogen in your body always dictates how long and deep you can stay diving underwater. The deeper and longer, the more Nitrogen your body will absorb.

Enough air in your tank to continue diving, but have you reached your max Nitrogen consumption for the dive? We can feel the frustration, as now you need to end the dive due to your no-decompression limits (NDL)...

Diving with Nitrox reduces the amount of Nitrogen entering the body due to the higher oxygen percentage. How cool is that! Whoop-whoop, your NDLs are extended, and in the same situation as before, you would now be able to continue your dive and have an increased bottom time.

Benefits of diving with Nitrox

• Safety. Less Nitrogen absorption means a lesser chance of Decompression Sickness
• Extended bottom time
  
• Shorter surface intervals
  
• Longer repetitive dive times
  
• Reduced exhaustion

IMPORTANT! -Flying after Diving

When planning your diving trip and your journey toward your destinations, always remember that you must not fly directly after scuba diving. It accentuates the risk of having decompression sickness.

The PADI guidelines are to NOT FLY during a 12 hours interval after a single dive and 18 hours after multiple dives. As often when it comes to scuba diving, take a conservative approach to safety, and whenever possible, avoid flying the next 24 hours after a dive.

If you intend to do multiple dives on different days during your trip, consider buying your own dive computer, as it will calculate the optimal time to fly based on your diving history.

Even more than other outdoor sports, diving is weather- and sea-dependent. Be aware that some sites might be inaccessible on certain days and that diving trips might be canceled due to dangerous conditions.

Luckily, Thailand has a fantastic climate almost all year round and this happens very rarely.
