PADI Enriched Air Diver is the most popular specialty scuba course. Why? Because scuba diving with enriched air/nitrox gives you more No Decompression time, especially on repetitive scuba dives. If staying at depth longer and getting back in the water sooner sounds appealing, then don't hesitate to become an enriched air diver.
You'll learn why diving with air that has higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content gives you more time at any given depth, along with enriched air equipment considerations. During a practical session, and two optional scuba dives, you'll understand why air diving with higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content give you more time at any depth?

Whether purpose-sunk as an artificial reef for scuba divers – like the HTMS Chang, or lost as the result of an accident or conflict, wrecks are fascinating windows to the past. Ships, airplanes and even cars are great to explore and usually teem with aquatic life. Each wreck dive offers a chance for discovery, potentially unlocking a mystery or spying something others have missed. The Wreck Diver Specialty course is popular because it offers rewarding adventures while observing responsible wreck diving practices.

The lure of the deep. There’s something exciting and mysterious about exploring deeper dive sites while scuba diving. Sometimes it’s a wreck that attracts you below 18 metres/60 feet, and on wall dives it may be a giant fan or sponge. Whatever it is, to scuba dive with confidence at depths down to 40 metres/130 feet, you should take the Deep Diver Speciality course.

They more easily observe aquatic life without disturbing their surroundings. You can achieve this, too. The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course improves the buoyancy skills you learned as a new diver and elevates them to the next level.
