About this course
Enriched Air (Nitrox) Instructor
Enriched air, or nitrox, is one of the most widely used specialties in recreational diving, and for good reason - it extends no-decompression limits and can reduce fatigue on repetitive dives. The Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver Specialty Instructor Training course prepares PADI professionals to teach this popular specialty properly, covering how to organise, promote, and conduct it for student divers.
Because enriched air is often one of the first specialties a newly certified diver takes, instructors who hold this rating are well placed to build lasting relationships with divers early in their diving journey. The course is taken as a Specialty Instructor course and is open to those with PADI Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, or instructor-candidate status; as with other specialties, some additional prerequisites and exit requirements may apply depending on individual circumstances.
Training is practical and immediately applicable. You will come away with teaching tips and hands-on experience that you can put to use right away when running your first enriched air course. The emphasis throughout is on helping instructors understand not just the theory of nitrox diving, but how to communicate its value clearly and confidently to students.
Since enriched air is one of the most commonly requested specialties, adding it to your teaching repertoire is a sound investment in your career. It also counts toward Master Scuba Diver Trainer status, which requires five or more PADI Specialty Instructor certifications, making this course a useful early building block for instructors working toward that rating.

“🌊 IDC No. 8 – April-May 2026: AMAZING! 🌊 An incredibly intensive course that truly prepares you to become the kind of instructor you wish you had when you first decided to breathe underwater 🤿 It lasted nearly a month online and 10 days in person.💪💪💪 You need to trust the process, because the program is designed not only to teach diving skills, but also to help you grow into a more professional, confident, and responsible person 💪 During these 10 days, you’ll be so focused on learning and improving that you probably won’t even have time to take photos 📚🔥 The entire IDC Sardinia staff is always there for you — guiding, supporting, motivating, and helping you through every challenge. They seem to have a sixth sense for knowing exactly when you need encouragement, and they won’t let you give up, even when the summit feels far away 🌟 And don’t worry… there will also be moments of…”Greta ValotiSardinia · Google review★★★★★
“I just did my IDC with IDC Sardegna and it was the most amazing experience in my life. I love all of the staff with all my heart. The support, the training, the organisation and in generall every day was structured perfect. It was a challengig time, but I fully enjoyed it and was able to do a big step in my diving live. Special thanks to the Course Director Luca, who is one of the most inspiring persons I met in my whole life. Lets see what time does, but if I ever gonna do a contiuing education I will do it with him. Grazie”Simon SablotnySardinia · Google review★★★★★
“I did the IDC with them and everything was truly fantastic. They're professional, helpful, and ready to help you both with the course and if you have any issues with the equipment. They truly take care of every detail. Luckily, I don't have to do it again 😄 ✌🏼, but if I did, I'd definitely choose them again.”Christian FalcettelliSardinia · Google review★★★★★
“Becoming a diving instructor has recently become my biggest dream in life :) And this dream has finally come true, largely thanks to the wonderful team at IDC Sardegna, who shared all their love and knowledge of diving with me in the best possible way! I can only recommend that you take an instructor course with them so that you too can join this wonderful world in the most beautiful way possible 🙂”Enzo MenichiniSardinia · Google review★★★★★
