PADI ENRICHED AIR NITROX COURSE IN MALTA

The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI's most popular specialty diving course, and it's easy to see why. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no-decompression dive time, meaning more time underwater, especially on repetitive dives.

The Fun Part

You can stay down longer and get back in the water sooner - that's why so many divers choose this as their very first specialty. It's perfect for extending your no-decompression limits on those deeper dives to visit the wrecks here in Malta.

What do I need to start?

• Be 12 years or older
• Hold a PADI Open Water Diver certification (or a qualifying certification from another organisation)

What will I do?

You will be provided with the knowledge needed to plan and execute recreational nitrox dives, covering:

• Techniques for getting more dive time by using enriched air nitrox
• Enriched air scuba diving equipment considerations
• Managing oxygen exposure, how to tell what's in your scuba cylinder, and how to set your dive computer
• How to plan dives using enriched air and calculate your maximum depths, dive times, and optimal enriched air blends for any given depth

How long will it take?

The PADI Enriched Air Diver course consists of two parts: eLearning theory completed at home, and a practical session at the dive centre where we discuss the knowledge development, practise analysing cylinders and labelling.

Please note this course does not include diving, but it can be integrated with a pleasure diving package or other courses such as the Advanced Open Water course, or the Deep or Wreck specialties. The practical session can be done at the dive centre before any of your other dives, allowing you to dive on nitrox straight away.

What is included:

• PADI eLearning (theory)
• Practical cylinder analysis session at the dive centre
• Certification costs

If you have your own dive computer, please bring it along to the practical session.
