The PADI Enriched Air Diver specialty extends your no-decompression time on Nusa Penida's deeper, current-swept reefs, and it is the most popular specialty in diving. Longer bottom times are a real advantage at sites like Crystal Bay and Manta Point, where you want to linger for Mola Mola and manta encounters rather than cut the dive short. The certification qualifies you to plan and dive with enriched air up to 40 percent oxygen.
PADI Enriched Air Diver can be completed with or without dives and is often the first specialty divers take. It counts towards the Master Scuba Diver rating and pairs naturally with the Deep Diver specialty for Nusa Penida's deeper sites.
Enriched air pays off most on Nusa Penida's deeper reefs and big-animal sites such as Manta Point, Crystal Bay and Toyapakeh, where longer no-decompression limits mean more time waiting out the cold thermoclines for Mola Mola and mantas. The April-to-November season is best for these encounters.
