PADI Enriched Air Nitrox (No E-Learning Option)

Dive Longer and Safer with Sea Dwellers Dive Center

Take your scuba diving experience to the next level with the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) Course at Sea Dwellers Dive Center in Key Largo. Priced at $161.50, this in-person training option allows you to earn your Enriched Air certification without completing online e-learning, making it a streamlined and instructor-led experience.

Enriched Air Nitrox, commonly called “nitrox,” is a breathing gas that contains a higher percentage of oxygen and a lower percentage of nitrogen than regular air. This means you absorb less nitrogen during your dives, allowing for longer bottom times and shorter surface intervals.

Why Dive with Enriched Air Nitrox?

Nitrox is one of the most popular PADI specialty certifications in the world because it offers clear, practical benefits for recreational divers.

This course is ideal for divers who want to:

• Extend no-decompression limits on repetitive dives
• Reduce nitrogen absorption and improve safety margins
• Enjoy longer dives on vacation or liveaboard trips
• Improve dive planning and gas awareness skills

Whether you are diving Key Largo’s reefs or planning tropical dive trips, nitrox gives you more time underwater where it matters most.
