What's Next

Diving with enriched air nitrox benefits all types of diving experiences, but it goes especially well with the below specialties, any one of which would make a great next step in your dive training.

  • PADI Wreck Diver  –  Popular wrecks tend to be deeper, so enriched air nitrox maximizes your exploration time.
  • PADI Deep Diver  –  The deeper you dive, the shorter your no stop time – but enriched air nitrox increases it, giving your more time at depth
  • PADI Digital Underwater Photographer – Photographers usually like to make several dives so they can get lots of pictures. Enriched air nitrox reduces the amount of residual nitrogen you accumulate, allowing repetitive dives to be longer.
  • PADI Master Scuba Diver --  This Enriched Air Diver counts toward your Master Scuba Diver rating -- the highest non-professional rating in recreational diving.
