Highlights

Learn to extend bottom times by safely adding oxygen to your breathing mix. Nitrox is a breathing gas that has a lot of benefits for both new and experienced divers. This course will cover the use of nitrox mixtures from 22 to 40 percent oxygen.

  • 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.

Dive center

Since 2002 our philosophy is to provide the most demanding diver with a very personal dive experience with maximum 10 divers per boat, 5 divers per instructor or divemaster, to guarantee the highest standards of comfort before, during and after the dive. What's more, we insist on the same level of training and/or experience for all those taking part in the dive team, in order to optimise the choice of dive site and assure a safe, extensive and enjoyable dive for all. All dive trips are led by local instructors who have in-depth knowledge of the different habitats of the Portofino promontory and are dedicated custodians of its treasures. No matter the distance and time it takes to get there, Susanna and Bruno will focus on taking you the very best dive sites and the many surprising wrecks Portofino has to offer.

Our PADI Nitrox Diver course gives you the opportunity to learn about the correct use of oxygen enriched air to extend your bottom times or add an extra margin of safety to your dives, all while having a fun diving trip.


Shortly after booking you will receive the PADI digital training material to immediately start your course by learning safe procedures for mixed gas diving. This will allow your to spend more time underwater and get more fun out of your experience dives.

The practical part takes place at our headquarter starting at 8:00am with proper breathing gas analysis and cylinders marking, together with a professional PADI instructor. After assembling the equipment and completing all checks under the supervision of your instructor, you will put on your wetsuit and board our boat for two guided dives in the Portofino marine protected area.
