How Can You Start Learning Now?
Stop by Aquatic Dreams Scuba Center to enroll in the course and pick up a PADI Enriched Air Diver Manual and DVD. By reading the manual and watching the DVD before class, you'll be ready to get started learning with your instructor.
What Gear Will You Use?
Most modern scuba equipment and dive computers can be used with enriched air, but your PADI instructor will let you know if your gear meets manufacturer recommendations and local requirements. However, scuba tanks must meet oxygen service standards and be dedicated to be use with enriched air. You'll practice using oxygen analyzers and special cylinder decals.
