What a great experience here at New Wave Divers! It was my first time doing wreck diving, and my guide Carlo was so humorous, calm and patient 😊. We did Camia II on my first day…
I had never scuba dived before, so I visited New Wave Diving after finding them online while staying in Boracay. My goal was to gain a recognised certification that would allow me…
Enriched air is the single best upgrade most divers can make. Because nitrox holds less nitrogen than normal air, your body absorbs it more slowly — so you get longer no-decompression limits, longer dives and shorter surface intervals. On a multi-dive day in Boracay that can mean an extra dive, or simply more time with the turtles. Get certified in half a day, then breathe nitrox on every dive for life.
Enriched air — also called nitrox or EANx — is breathing gas with less nitrogen and more oxygen than the air around you. Nitrogen is the gas that limits how long you can stay down, so breathing less of it lets you safely extend your no-decompression limits.
The result is longer dives and shorter surface intervals — which is exactly why Enriched Air Diver is the most popular PADI specialty in the world. On this course you'll learn how to analyse a nitrox tank, fill out an enriched air log and set your dive computer for nitrox, then put it to work on a relaxed dive. Most divers finish in half a day.
If you're 12 or older and hold a PADI Open Water certification (or qualifying cert), you can enrol. Do the theory online before you arrive, then knock out the practical and your dive in a relaxed half day with your instructor.
Complete the knowledge section online, whenever and wherever it suits you. You'll learn the why behind nitrox — how less nitrogen extends your no-deco limits, how to manage oxygen exposure and maximum operating depth, and how to dive enriched air safely. Work at your own pace on any device, and message your instructor any time you have a question.
With your instructor you'll learn to analyse a nitrox tank for its exact oxygen percentage, fill out an enriched air log and set your dive computer for nitrox. Then you put it into practice on a dive — enjoying the longer bottom times nitrox unlocks on Boracay's reefs.
Same PADI Enriched Air certification, same lifelong skill. Choose whether you want to put nitrox into practice on one dive, or complete just the theory and dry practical — either way you're certified in half a day.
Theory, the dry practical and one dive — so you feel the longer bottom times for yourself.
Knowledge development and the dry practical only — no dives. The most affordable way to earn the card.
Choose before you book: the dive can't be added to Dry Nitrox later, so pick Nitrox Diver if you want to feel nitrox in the water. Both options earn the identical PADI Enriched Air Diver card.
Same depth, same reef — but with nitrox in your tank, your no-decompression limit stretches. Here's roughly how much longer you can stay down on a first dive breathing EANx 32 instead of regular air.
Illustrative figures for a single no-stop dive on EANx 32. Your actual limits depend on your dive computer, the exact blend and your dive profile — your instructor walks you through it all. Shorter surface intervals between dives are a bonus on top of these numbers.
Longer dives, shorter waits — for life. Once you're certified you can breathe nitrox on every dive, anywhere in the world. It pairs perfectly with deep and wreck diving, where bottom time runs out fastest.

Nitrox is the gas that makes every other adventure better. These three are where extra minutes underwater count the most — and each finished specialty is a step toward elite Master Scuba Diver.
