Hi divers,
even though this thread is a couple of weeks old, I hope it's still useful to reply in order to correct some of the inaccuracies I've read.
1) Enriched Air is an elective dive for PADI AOWD. However, your instructor needs to be Enriched Air Specialty instructor to include it in your AOWD course.
2) The theory is not included in the AOWD manual, your instructor will use the Enriched Air diver manual for it.
3) The Enriched Air specialty does have two dives, but they are not mandatory to complete the specialty. Predive simulation Exercises will suffice.
Below the screenshot of the instructor manual.
Cheers,
Carmelo ( PADI IDC Staff instructor )
