Nitrogen is limiting our time to dive because he is absorbed in the body and is released slowly. Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx) is enriched air, oxygen gas composition of which greater than 21%. The goal is to reduce the percentage of nitrogen, so that we can dive longer.

Wayan Sumardika – PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (26 April 2012)

“I was working as a DM in Bali, I love my job but I was wondering if I should continue on to be an instructor. I had many doubts with my dive skills and English language ability. I was then recommended to meet your members S.F Chong and Made Suwena since they have taught many Asians (whose English wasn’t their main language) and so I did. They encouraged me to continue my education. They told me that English is not the main reason to be a good instructor, but the ability to teach is.

With their encouragement, I then decided to join the IDC and now I’m a very happy PADI OWSI. I was extremely pleased with their IDC program, especially their ability to explain dive theories, standards and teaching skills, in simple language that is easily understood by me. Right now I am very happy to tell you that there are 8 Indonesian IDC candidates following my footsteps. I would like to congratulate PADI for having 2 very dedicated members in your association. Huge thanks to S. F Chong and Made Suwena for my success.”
