Course overview

Get more bottom time on Coron's deeper WWII wrecks with the PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) specialty, the most popular specialty in diving. This largely classroom-based course, with at least one optional supervised dive, teaches you to plan and use nitrox safely in warm 27-29C water. It is especially valuable here, where extra no-decompression time pays off on ships such as the Olympia Maru and Akitsushima.

What you’ll learn

• Understand the benefits and limits of enriched air diving
• Analyse a cylinder's oxygen content and set your computer
• Calculate maximum operating depth for a given nitrox mix

• Plan dives for extended no-decompression times
• Handle and label enriched-air cylinders correctly

Prerequisites
