OVERVIEW
Stay down longer and get back in the water sooner
Enriched Air Nitrox contains higher oxygen and lower nitrogen percentages than standard atmospheric air. By breathing less nitrogen at depth, you significantly decrease nitrogen absorption, allowing longer no-decompression dive times and shorter surface intervals.
In Eilat, you master digital oxygen analyzer calibration, cylinder verification, Maximum Operating Depth (MOD) calculations, and dive computer configuration for blends from EANx22 up to EANx40.
The course can be completed efficiently through digital theory and hands-on gas analysis workshops, with optional guided Nitrox reef dives. The PADI Enriched Air Diver certification is globally recognized across dive destinations worldwide.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Nitrox course in Eilat.
Does Nitrox allow me to dive deeper?
No. Nitrox is designed to extend bottom times at recreational depths, not to dive deeper. Because of oxygen toxicity limits, each Nitrox blend has a Maximum Operating Depth (MOD).
Are water dives required for certification?
PADI standards allow the Enriched Air course to be completed purely through digital theory and practical analyzer workshops, or combined with optional open-water dives.
Can I use standard diving equipment with Nitrox?
Yes, standard recreational scuba gear is fully compatible with recreational Nitrox blends containing up to 40% oxygen.
