What will you learn in the Enriched Air Nitrox Diver course?

In the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Diver course with Adelaide Scuba, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills to maximise your bottom time by using enriched air (Nitrox). Enriched Air typically contains between 30% and 40% oxygen, which allows you to extend your no decompression limits and enjoy longer dives at certain depths.

During the course, you’ll learn how to set your dive computer for Enriched Air, determine the best oxygen percentage for the depths you plan to dive, and understand how to analyse your scuba cylinder’s oxygen content.

Our course includes PADI eLearning, which must be completed before the practical session.

FAQ

Will I need to bring any gear myself (for example mask, snorkel, fins and dive boots)?

All gear will be provided by Adelaide Scuba. We have Premium Scubapro, Cressi and Oceanic rental equipment for your comfort.

We very strongly recommend having your own Mask and Snorkel - for comfort and hygene.

We will teach you about the different types of gear available and to maximize your enjoyment of the experience, we do recommend coming in-store to have a look at our mask range - your dive mask is the most important piece of equipment you will invest in. Feel free to come in and try some on!

What If I fail my dive medical?

It is always best to read through the medical questionnaire first to determine if you require a doctors clearance. If you have a known medical condition we encourage you to gain clearance before you commence your eLearning. A medical clearance by a diving doctor will last for 12 months. The eLearning portion of the course is not refundable and once commenced, the course is not refundable by Adelaide Scuba. Please ask our friendly staff if you have any questions about how this process works.

Can I reschedule the course if I cannot complete the online training in time or get my medical in time?

Rescheduling is available for any reason, however there is rescheduling fee of $100 if this is within 14 days of the course start. As soon as your course space is booked with us there is a lot of preparation in place to ensure your gear and Instructor is available. We ask that you please give us as much notice as you can - our courses are scheduled 12 months in advance and can be booked out up to 3 months in advance at some times of the year.

I have a voucher, can I use this for the course cost?

Yes, of course! You can put your voucher towards your Learn To Dive Course, all vouchers must be redeemed within the expiry date & will not be extended.

What happens when there is a turn in the weather?

Adelaide Scuba staff monitor the weather forecasts closely all year round and will provide you with as much notice as possible if the conditions look unsafe for scuba diving. Water conditions are not always determined by sunshine but primarily by wind, rain, current and swell. South Australia has a variety of dive sites, which are suitable in varying weather conditions. If the prediction is for unsafe conditions we may have to reschedule the course dives to another time & will discuss this based on student and Instructor availability.
