Nitrox training teaches you to use enriched air, a breathing mix with more oxygen and less nitrogen than standard compressed air. The aim is to help you plan for longer bottom time within safe limits, not to let you go deeper or ignore your computer. This course combines online or local study with practical checks and two open-water sessions.
I like that the package includes PADI eLearning and certification fees, so you can complete the knowledge portion before arriving or study locally. I also like that full equipment rental, lunch, refreshments and instructor-led practice are included, which makes the stated price easier to assess.
The main catch is the location information: the experience is described as being in Phi Phi, the meeting address is on Phi Phi Island, but the city and some course text refer to Phuket and Koh Tao. Confirm exactly where you must meet before booking, and check that you meet the experience’s certification requirements.

What the Nitrox course teaches you
What the US$284.29 price covers
The starting price is US$284.29 for the PADI Enriched Air Diver package. Its value comes from several items being bundled: eLearning, certification fees, a PADI-certified instructor, full scuba equipment rental, confined-water practice, two open-water sessions, tanks, weights, lunch and refreshments.
That is a substantial inclusion list for a specialty course, particularly if you do not own equipment. You are paying for instruction and certification as well as the practical sessions, rather than simply renting a tank for a recreational outing. If you already have your own gear, the rental portion may be less valuable to you, but the training and certification remain the main point of the package.
The price is listed as a starting rate. Check the total for your date and confirm that the certification fees and all named inclusions apply to the package you select. There is only one package described here, PADI Enriched Air Diver, so compare it with other courses on the basis of what training and practical time they include, not price alone.
Language, meals and equipment
Instruction is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Cantonese, Thai, Mandarin and Malay. That range is helpful if you learn best in a language other than English. The information does not name individual instructors, so you cannot request a specific guide by name from these details.
Full equipment rental is included, along with tanks and weights. Lunch and refreshments are also provided, which means you need not treat this as a training session where every practical item is an extra. The details do not describe the menu or the specific equipment brands, so ask about any dietary needs or personal gear preferences in advance.
Is this the right choice for you?
I would consider this course if you already hold the required certification, have enough logged sessions and want a practical introduction to enriched air. The theory can be completed online or locally, while the included equipment and two open-water sessions make the package straightforward for someone who does not own a full kit.
It is less suitable if you are still working toward your first certification, are below the experience threshold or mainly want a sightseeing trip. The location mismatch also deserves attention: get written confirmation of the meeting point and eligibility before booking, especially if you are staying outside Phi Phi.
Book it if you want a recognized nitrox qualification and can confirm that the location, date and prerequisites fit your plans. Hold off if you cannot get a clear answer about the meeting address or whether your certification and logged experience qualify. The training package appears useful and well bundled, but clear logistics are part of good value too.
