Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver

Enriched air, also known as nitrox or EANx, contains less nitrogen than regular air. Breathing less nitrogen means you can enjoy longer dives and shorter surface intervals. No wonder Enriched Air Diver is the most popular PADI specialty.

What clients say

  • Creating an environment where we felt safe—both physically and psychologically—to try new things, push ourselves, and just enjoy being there.

    @mermanchatravee, Roatán 2026 trip guest

  • Safe doesn't even begin to describe it. It was so comforting. It's like I'd done it a million times before.

    Megan Johnson, Roatán 2026 trip guest

  • I went into this trip convinced I wasn't going to be able to handle taking my mask on and off for the underwater shoots, and now I can do it with complete ease.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be SCUBA or Freedive certified?

For pool shoots, absolutely not — no certification is required. However, for most of our international travel workshops, which double as amazing dive trips, you will want to be SCUBA certified to get the full experience. If you aren't certified yet, Justin is a PADI SCUBA instructor and can help you get there!

Do you offer any other training or certifications?

Yes! Beyond underwater modeling and photography training, we also offer official PADI SCUBA and PADI Mermaid certifications. Whether you want to learn to dive for the first time or perfect your mermaid movement, we can certify you right here in our studio.
