Extend your bottom time on Pondicherry's reefs with the PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) specialty. Breathing enriched air on the Bay of Bengal's 18-30m sites, including dives toward the Aravind Wall, gives you longer no-decompression limits and more time among the reef fish.
PADI's Enriched Air Diver specialty is largely knowledge-based via eLearning with practical gas analysis, carries a Project AWARE ethic and issues a lifetime PADI specialty card.
Nitrox is most useful on Pondicherry's deeper reef and wreck sites at 18-30m, where extended no-deco limits let you linger near the Aravind Wall and artificial structures. The calm Oct-May season and 27-30C water suit longer, relaxed dives among stingrays and schooling fish.
