PADI specialties in Tabarca
PADI NITROX enriched air diving course
The PADI Diving course with enriched air is one of the most interesting specialty courses. Diving with enriched air gives you more time to dive without decompression. It means more time underwater, especially in successive and simple dives with depths greater than 20 meters.
This course enables you to dive with Nitrox up to 40% of O2.
If you do this course with us, every time you come to dive at our center, you can dive with Nitrox without having to pay a supplement for it (for a limited time).

2 dives with Nitrox

When you wear the clothing to dive in cold water, you can fight against the elements and benefit, generally, from the best visibility offered by the winter months – especially in dive sites in the interior such as dams, lakes, sinkholes, caverns, etc. As a diver with a dry suit, you are equipped to dive in some of the incredible dive sites of the world in the coldest regions of the world where you can enjoy a dry suit even in its warmer months.
