PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Course

PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Course

Get Enriched Air Nitrox certified and See More of The Fantastic Scuba Diving Sites In Phuket

The PADI Enriched Air Nitrox course is by far the most popular PADI specialty course conducted in Phuket. Diving with nitrox gives you much more no decompression time than diving with normal air. In dive locations like Phuket where we do 3 dives a day with 1hr surface intervals so it’s a particular useful skill to have. The Similan Island liveaboards can schedule up to 4 dives a day so we would absolutely recommend being nitrox certified before or during your trip.

It’s a straight forward course and now adapted to reflect modern diving with computers. The theory will only take a few hours of your holiday time and can certainly be conducted in full on a single dive tour. Once you’ve analysed your tank and logged the details you will dive as normal.

I have just completed my Nitrox course and 3 days diving with Local Dive Thailand. The entire experience from booking to the last dive was excellent. They prioritise safety and enjoyment and have excellent equipment. The boat is well equipped and the food and refreshments are tasty. I had a great time and my dive guides inspired confidence and found some great creatures which I captured on video. Gastroknome – TA Member

What Will I learn On My PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Course?

During the course you’ll learn why diving with a tank that has higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content gives you more bottom time, how to manage oxygen exposure, practice analysing your tank and setting your computer for the dive.

In Thailand you must be at least 12 years old and Open Water certified to enrol on the course. Complete the PADI Advanced Open Water simultaneously and get a great combo deal!

West Of Eden

After the coral bleaching in 2010 that devastated the wonderful East Of Eden this rocky dive site became more popular. Most sites on the western side of the Similan Islands are comprised of granite boulders and hard corals so they are a little more resilient to temperature change. Depending on the current the dive will begin around the mooring line in the small bay to the south of the dive site. It's worth spending some time in this area. [...]

Phi Phi Islands & Shark Point Diving

The Phi Phi Islands are an incredible diving experience. In the first 5 minutes of your dive at Koh Bida Nok, you're likely to be able to tick blacktip reef sharks off your list. It won't be just one, you could be swimming with a dozen or more! Sharks from half metre babies up to the 2m long adults patrol the shallows of the sheltered bay where we make the first drop. A great start to the day. Then it's off to'Turtle Rock' which is home to [...]

A Simple Upgrade That Can Save You $$$!

The auto closure device (ACD) on Aqualung systems has been around for a while but getting it fitted now, in the long run can save money and reduce the risk of failure for the more forgetful/lazy divers amongst us. I'm sure most divers at some stage have rinsed their regulator off after a days diving and forgotten to put the dust cap in place. The ACD system is a simple upgrade that can save you the worry of damaging your valuable 1st stage. [...]
