PADI Open Water Diver course + Discover Nitrox
New divers can start diving with Nitrox towards the end of their PADI Open Water Diver course. Research confirmed that especially dive beginners having problems with their buoyancy control can dive safer using Nitrox.
Therefore the specialty course "Enriched Air Diver Nitrox" was divided into two levels. From now on the last dive of the PADI Open Water Diver course can be done using Nitrox. After this dive the new diver will receive together with his OWD certification "Discover Enriched Air Nitrox" certification. He can use for future dives, Enriched Air with up to 32 % Oxygen to a maximum depth of 18 meters.
Of course there is also the possibility to complete the Nitrox specialty course. After receiving the OWD certification you just have to study a little Nitrox theory and do one more dive. After having your final "Enriched Air Diver" certification you will be able to use Enriched Air with up to 40 % Oxygen in the gas blend.

PADI Advanced Open Water Diver + Nitrox Specialty
The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is a two to three day training class, which provides Open Water divers with well organised, structured and valuable supervised experience. You will complete five dives in the sea in various underwater activities to increase your experience and capabilities. With this course there is no theory exam.
If you are doing both courses together – the AOWD and the Nitrox specialty course – you will safe 99 €.
Instead of 179 € for the full Nitrox Specialty course (Enriched Air Diver) you only pay 80 € on top of your AOWD course price.
PADI Enriched Air NITROX-Diver
Now the PADI Enriched Air diver Specialty course is designed in two ways. As before you can do the PADI Enriched Air diver Specialty course and new as a two level course.
Two Level course:
Level 1: Now you can try it while you dive it with PADI’s Dive Today philosophy and Discover Enriched Air Nitrox. In a mini workshop you`ll learn what it takes to dive with NITROX 32 using the air RDP and how to analyse the gas in the tank you use. You may just do the Discover Enriched Air Nitrox course or you may also qualify if you are currently enrolled in a PADI Open Water Diver course or even within the PADI Adventures in Diving program. Which way you chose: after successful completion of Level 1 you gain the Discover Enriched Air Nitrox certification and you are allowed to dive to a maximum of 30 metres/100 feet using EANx32 within the no decompression limits of the air Recreational Dive Planner, depending upon your certification.
In Level 2 you will complete your training to the PADI Enriched Air diver. This course consists also of a mini workshop where you learn how to plan dives using EANx32 and EANx36. After completion of the course you`ll be able to use your individual blend and benefit from all the advantages of diving with NITROX of up to 40 % oxygen.
Specialty course: Of course you can still do as before the PADI Enriched Air diver course in one go. This course takes only two mini workshops and a couple of dives and then you’ll be on your way.
