You'll develop the knowledge, teaching skills, and confidence to lead dives and certify new divers. We'll support you through every step of the process — that's not a sales pitch, that's just how we operate.

Hey everyone — just a heads up that Patriot Diving will be closed this Easter Sunday so our crew can spend the day with their families. We'll be back Monday ready to get you in the water. Wishing everyone a great holiday weekend!

EANx (Nitrox) Class
Saturday, May 30, other dates available

This is a classroom-only course — no dives required.

Have a vacation planned? This is one of the best certifications for repetitive diving. Enriched air means less nitrogen, which helps you stay down longer and get back in the water sooner.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:
• Maximize no-decompression limits
• Shorten surface intervals
• Manage oxygen exposure
• Analyze tanks and set your dive computer

It’s the most popular PADI specialty for a reason—and one of the easiest ways to upgrade your diving before your next trip.

Sunday, April 12th

• Recognizing and managing stress in divers
• Emergency response techniques
• Scenario-based problem solving
• Building confidence as a dive buddy

This is a relaxed, supportive session designed to get you comfortable and capable again in the water.
