You’re submerged, admiring the creatures of the underwater world. Red, bulbous barrel sponges spot the reef. Schools of spadefish shimmer in the light from above. Green morays poke their heads out from hiding holes. A sleepy sea turtle lounges underneath a rocky outcropping.
You could stay in that blue-water bliss indefinitely. But your dive computer says otherwise. The no-decompression limit is fast approaching. That means it’s time to return to the surface. As you start to ascend, the arm of an octopus appears from under a ledge. You fight the urge to descend and check it out. You’d be exceeding your limits, which is a no-go.
The good news is, there’s a solution. You can make the most of every dive by extending your bottom time as a PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
- How to dive with Enriched Air with up to 40% oxygen
- The benefits and potential hazards of diving with Enriched Air
- Practice hands-on skills, like using an analyzer to determine the oxygen content
- How to safely enjoy longer dives!
And this time, you’ll be able to go check out that octopus.
