Enriched Air Diver

Enriched Air Diving has the capability to provide several benefits, not generally available to the standard air mix diver.

As a by product of reducing the nitrogen, N2, content of your breathing gas mixture, it is possible to extend the time allowable on conventional tables at recreational diving depths. The nitrogen as most divers are aware is associated with nitrogen narcosis, commonly called 'The Narks'. Over 25 metres the partial pressure of the nitrogen has increased to the point where the onset of Nitrogen Narcosis occurs. Various divers have anecdotal evidence to support their claims of Narcosis at shallower depths in more challenging conditions although medical opinion tends to support Narcosis occurrence in depths deeper than 30 metres. Individuals have varying tolerance in the same way different people handle alcohol. Regardless of the person, all individuals have a degree of Narcosis and it is only the percentage of affect that causes a reaction. With this in mind, reducing the point at where Narcosis starts, by the reduction of the nitrogen percentage, generally leads to a beneficial increase in the individuals' tolerance and behaviour at depth.

Benefits include extended bottom times without decompression, the safety and confidence of breathing Enriched Air for your diving and more energy at the end of your dive trip. The PADI Enriched Air Diver, once qualified, can use mixtures of up to 40% Oxygen, 60% Nitrogen.
