dives and revision will be approx. 6 hours.

 PADI ENRICHED AIR NITROX (EANx)
If you want to stay underwater a bit longer, feel less tired
after repetitive dives and have shorter surface intervals, then
the Enriched Air Nitrox Specialty Course is for you. The course
involves all theory aspects for planning and conducting dives
using enriched air.
Nitrox is a breathing gas consisting of oxygen and nitrogen (similar to air), but with
a higher proportion of oxygen than the normal 20.9%.
Nitrox is mainly used in Scuba diving to reduce the proportion of nitrogen in the
breathing gas mixture. Reducing the proportion of nitrogen by breathing Nitrox can
have two benefits:
- reduces the risk of decompression sickness
- extends dive times without increasing the need for decompression stops
Minimum Requirements:
- PADI Open Water or equivalent
- Minimum age 15 years old
- 20 Logged Dives
Course Breakdown:
Includes 2 training dives with one of TAKA
experienced Nitrox instructors and 3 hours theory.
COST: $300 AUD
(Includes PADI Manual, EANX Tables, PADI Certification card)
*Please note: you must bring your own passport photos & log book
reflecting 20 logged dives
