A complete explanation of the benefits and risks of diving with a nitrox mix and how to use it safely.
Nitrox is the most used specialized gas in advanced recreational diving.
Air with an oxygen percentage higher than 21%, usually 32% or 36%. The lower nitrogen extends safe dive time.
Longer times at intermediate depths with less nitrogen accumulation in the tissues.
Excess oxygen is toxic at greater depths. Therefore there is a maximum depth limit when diving on nitrox.
Nitrox is a powerful tool for anyone who understands it. It is dangerous for anyone who uses it without training.
