Course overview

Get more bottom time on the Maldives' reefs with the PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) specialty on Maafushi. Diving enriched air on the multi-dive day-boat trips around the South Malé Atoll, you extend no-decompression limits and shorten surface intervals so you can do more on busy diving days. This is among the most popular specialties for divers logging several dives a day in warm 27-30°C water.

The PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) pathway

PADI Enriched Air Diver is one of the most popular specialties and can be completed without dives, though practising on a dive is recommended. It counts toward the Master Scuba Diver rating and is especially valuable in destinations like the Maldives where divers log several dives a day.

Where you'll dive in Maafushi

Enriched air pays off on Maafushi's multi-dive day-boat trips across South Malé Atoll sites such as Maafushi Corner and Banana Reef, where longer no-stop times let you make the most of each visit in 27-30°C water. Conditions are best November to April.
