With the PADI Enriched Air diver speciality course in Murcia you will be certified to purchase and dive with Enriched Air Nitrox between 22% - 40% giving your recreational diving ranges a big boost. Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) has many advantages in recreational diving, shorter surface intervals between dives and longer bottom times sounds like the ideal day diving, but how does it work?. A brief explanation is that the lower the content of Nitrogen in your breathing mixture then the less Nitrogen that is absorbed into your body, but we are talking human physiology here so its not quite that simple.
The PADI Enriched Air Speciality explains why and how to dive safely within limits using EANx, as well as dispelling the myths that Nitrox contains more Nitrogen than Oxygen and also that volume for volume EANx lasts longer air. We also cover why using EANx is safer when diving using air tables than diving on air would be.
Although EANx reduces your exposure to Nitrogen it also increases your exposure to Oxygen. Much of what we cover in the knowledge development of this course wil be dealing with and how to recognise Oxygen exposure.
The PADI EANx Speciality course is very flexible and can be taken in any number of ways. We structure the course in such a way as to be flexible to the students needs a basic breakdown of the course is listed below.
