Do you ever wish you could stay underwater longer to enjoy the amazing scenery and aquatic life? Are you going on a diving holiday and want to feel less tired after each day of diving? Take PADI's most popular specialty course here with us at Rowand’s Reef and learn how using enriched air can benefit your diving experience.
Enriched air (nitrox) gives you the ability to stay underwater for longer and also allows for shorter surface intervals meaning you can return to the water sooner. As a PADI Enriched Air Diver, you’ll have the option to dive with nitrox anytime you like, allowing you to maximize your underwater adventures and let you get the most out of your scuba diving.
