Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver

PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Sharm El Sheikh

Spend more time underwater and return to the reef faster with our certified PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Sharm El Sheikh specialty course. As PADI’s most popular specialty course, Enriched Air (Nitrox) scuba diving gives you more no-decompression dive time—especially on repetitive scuba dives across the world-famous reefs of the Red Sea.

Breathing enriched air nitrox (EANx) means your breathing gas contains a higher percentage of oxygen and a lower percentage of nitrogen than standard atmospheric air. Reduced nitrogen absorption allows you to extend your bottom time at depth, shorten required surface intervals between dives, and feel significantly less fatigued after a full day of diving. Completing your PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Sharm El Sheikh certification at Butterfly Diving equips you with essential practical skills such as analyzing tank oxygen content and programming dive computers and counts toward the prestigious PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.
