Enriched Air  (Nitrox) Diver

About the Course

Enriched air, also known as nitrox or EANx, contains less nitrogen than regular air. Breathing less nitrogen means you can enjoy longer dives and shorter surface intervals. No wonder Enriched Air Diver is the most popular PADI® specialty.


PADI eLearning makes it easy to fit scuba lessons into a busy schedule. Complete the independent study part of your course whenever, wherever it’s convenient for you.

 

After finishing your independent study, you'll learn how to analyze a tank, fill out an enriched air log, and set your dive computer for nitrox. There are two optional dives at an additional charge.

PADI ReActivate Scuba Refresher Program

About the Course

The PADI ReActivate® program is a flexible refresher course designed for divers who need either a minor tune-up or a full review of dive skills and knowledge. It is convenient and tailored to each diver’s pace, requiring only the necessary amount of guidance. Both PADI Divers and divers certified through other organizations can use ReActivate to refresh and update their scuba knowledge. 

​

The process includes completing a knowledge refresher, followed by a water skills session in open water. Key skills such as equipment setup, mask clearing, buoyancy, and emergency procedures are practiced based on the diver’s needs.

​

Our Instructors provide tailored coaching, ensuring you regain confidence while enjoying the experience. Once both knowledge and skill reviews are completed, divers can earn a replacement certification card with a ReActivate date.
