Enriched Air Nitrox Training
NAUI Nitrox Diver is the workbook?s name for NAUI?s Enriched Air Nitrox, or EANx, Diver course. NAUI?s current learn catalog exposes this as a course and NAUI?s own nitrox update confirms that Enriched Air Nitrox Diver standards are part of the agency?s active training system. The course teaches divers why a breathing gas with more oxygen and less nitrogen changes no-decompression planning, oxygen exposure, gas analysis, maximum operating depth, and repetitive-dive decisions.
This course suits divers who want to use nitrox more intelligently on recreational dives, especially when planning repeated dives or longer moderate-depth profiles. NAUI?s public course route is sparse, so exact enrollment details should be confirmed with the instructor; NAUI?s nitrox standards update confirms junior nitrox certifications are allowed under the agency?s age policies. Students should already understand basic dive planning and be ready to analyze cylinders and follow oxygen limits precisely.
Training is often classroom-focused, with practical gas-analysis and dive-planning work, and may be integrated with other NAUI training where appropriate. In High Springs, Florida, Nitrox Diver is a useful early step before advanced, cavern, rescue, and technical training because EANx planning appears throughout modern diving. The expected outcome is a diver who can plan nitrox dives conservatively, verify the gas, respect oxygen exposure, and avoid treating nitrox as simply ?safer air.?
