The PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver specialty extends your no-decompression time on the reefs of Baa Atoll in the Maldives, which helps on the longer, repetitive dives that manta and reef encounters near Dharavandhoo reward. It is the most popular PADI specialty and can be completed in a day, often without any required training dives.
PADI certifies this as the Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver specialty. The course is primarily knowledge-based, so it can be completed without dives, though pairing it with reef dives is recommended to apply the planning.
Nitrox is especially useful on the current-fed reefs and channels around Dharavandhoo in Baa Atoll, where longer bottom times mean more chances to watch mantas and reef sharks during the May-to-November plankton season.
