Start Your Diving Journey With More Time to Explore

Take your first step into scuba diving and immediately expand your possibilities with the PADI Open Water + Enriched Air Nitrox package. This combination gives you the essential skills to become a confident diver while adding one of the most useful specialties for divers who want more time underwater on repetitive dives.

Open Water Diver

Your adventure starts with the PADI Open Water Diver course, where you’ll develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to safely explore the underwater world.

You’ll learn:

Essential scuba diving skills and safety procedures
Equipment setup and care
Buoyancy and underwater control
Dive planning and buddy procedures
Problem management and emergency skills
Open water diving to a maximum of 18 metres

Your training combines PADI eLearning, confined-water sessions and four open water dives, giving you the foundation to become a confident recreational diver.

Enriched Air Nitrox Diver

Once you’ve built your foundation, take your diving further with PADI Enriched Air Nitrox.

Nitrox allows you to use a breathing gas with a higher oxygen content and lower nitrogen content than regular air. When used correctly and within the appropriate limits, this can provide more no-decompression time, particularly during repetitive diving.

You’ll learn how to:

Understand the benefits and limitations of Nitrox
Manage oxygen exposure
Analyse the oxygen content of your cylinder
Plan dives using enriched air
Set your dive computer correctly for Nitrox
Understand the equipment and safety considerations involved

Best of all, this is a non-diving specialty, meaning you can complete the Nitrox training without additional open-water dives.

Your Journey From Beginner to Smarter Diver

This combination is ideal for new divers who want to build a strong foundation while gaining knowledge that can immediately benefit future diving adventures. Whether you’re planning a dive trip, multiple dives in a day or simply want to understand more about how your equipment and breathing gas work, Nitrox is a valuable skill to have from the start.
