Enriched Air Diver
The most popular PADI specialty. Enriched air carries less nitrogen than regular air, which buys you longer dives and shorter surface intervals.
PADI specialty
The difference
Same cylinder. Less nitrogen.
No wonder Enriched Air Diver is the most popular PADI specialty.
The air in a standard cylinder. Perfectly good for most of the diving most divers do.
Breathing less nitrogen is what changes the dive:
- Longer dives
- Shorter surface intervals
How the course works
Two parts, and neither takes long
