PADI NITROX (EAN) DIVER
Dive longer. Plan with confidence.
The Nitrox (EAN) Diver course is a specialty course for divers who want to learn how to safely use breathing gases with an increased oxygen content.
This is a theory-based course and does not require any dives. You will learn how to plan dives with Nitrox, follow the appropriate safety procedures, and independently analyze the breathing gas before a dive.
Nitrox is widely available at dive centers around the world, making the EAN certification one of the most practical additions to your basic diving qualifications.

FAQ
Are any dives required during the Nitrox course?
No. It is a theory-based course combined with practical workshops on breathing gas analysis. No dives are required.
Do I need to have an Open Water Diver certification?
Yes. An Open Water Diver certification is required to start the course.
What is the minimum age to take the course?
The minimum age for participation is 12 years.
What will I learn during the practical workshop?
You will learn, among other things, how to correctly analyze the oxygen content of a Nitrox mixture and prepare it for use during a dive.
Does Nitrox allow you to dive deeper?
No. Nitrox is not used to increase the maximum diving depth. A higher oxygen content also means that each breathing gas mixture has a specific Maximum Operating Depth (MOD).
What are the main benefits of diving with Nitrox?
With proper dive planning, Nitrox can provide longer no-decompression limits compared to air. It is particularly popular on diving trips involving several dives per day.

Data Under Control
At Demon Ray, we have developed At Demon Ray, we have developed PhysioDive Lab – an innovative project that makes it possible to observe and analyse the body’s responses during a real dive..
During selected dives, we can record physiological and environmental parameters to observe how the body responds to depth, temperature, physical exertion, stress, and changing underwater conditions..
It is an additional training tool that allows you to look at technical diving not only from the perspective of the procedures performed but also to understand what is happening in your body at the same time..
- Monitoring heart rate and gas consumption
- Biometric data analysis
- Thermal monitoring and testing of undersuits
- Recording environmental conditions
- Analysis of stress and physiological strain
