Enriched Air Nitrox
The drawback of diving with air is the limited amount of time at depth without paying serious consequences. Now there’s Nitrox, a blend with more oxygen and less nitrogen. Since nitrogen is the factor limiting our dive times on air, less nitrogen in the mix means less nitrogen breathed, less nitrogen absorbed, and less nitrogen to be off-gassed.
By comparison, it’s easy to see why Nitrox is in such demand. The difference is significant and the process is simple. Unless you plan to use a mix richer than 40 percent oxygen, you do not need to change anything about your personally owned dive equipment.
