PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver

PADI's most popular specialty. Diving on enriched air (up to 40% oxygen) gives you longer bottom times and shorter surface intervals.

We teach it as a dry course: PADI eLearning at your own pace, then a hands-on workshop at the centre. You don't need to get wet.

From a guest

Chathuraga was a super friendly dive instructor, and we felt safe underwater at all times. He took plenty of time for the lessons in the course and was always very helpful. You can immediately tell that the dive school has a very family-like atmosphere. Every day, tea and cookies were served during the briefing.
