What is a PADI Specialty scuba diving course?
It is a PADI course designed to focus on a particular skill or type of diving that you are interested learning more about.

Widening your knowledge and skills with a PADI Specialty course makes you more confident as a diver and if you complete 5 Specialty courses you will be awarded the highest recreational diver rating that PADI gives, Master Scuba Diver.

Your next adventure
Diving with enriched air nitrox benefits all kinds of diving but it goes together well with these other PADI Specialty courses:
- PADI Wreck Diver Course: popular wrecks often require you stay at depths where diving with enriched air nitrox would maximise the time spent exploring the wreck.
- PADI Deep Diver Course: typically the deeper you dive, the less time you get to spend underwater but enriched air nitrox can extend your no decompression limits to give you more time at depth.
- PADI Digital Underwater Photography Course: More dives means more photos and photographers like this! With enriched air nitrox, divers accumulate less residual nitrogen meaning underwater photographers can use nitrox for longer repetitive dives.
- PADI Master Scuba Diver Course: The PADI enriched air nitrox counts as one module towards the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.
