Course overview

Extend your no-decompression time on Cyprus's deeper sites with the PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver course, the agency's most popular specialty. Enriched air suits repetitive dives and sites such as the 16–40 m Zenobia wreck, where longer bottom times let you explore more of the cargo decks and structure on a single descent.

• Set and manage maximum operating depth and oxygen exposure limits
