Diving with NITROX
Diving with NITROX is becoming more and more popular. This is not surprising
as the benefits of
NITROX
are unquestionable! NITROX contains less nitrogen than air, which implies
that the diver will absorb less nitrogen during the dive.
Conclusion:
Diving with NITROX means more comfort, an additional gain in safety,
and a decisive extension of the no-stop times.
What is Enriched Air NITROX
Air consists of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other gases. NITROX
consists of the same ingredients - only the percentage is different.
For NITROX 32 this means 67% nitrogen, 32% oxygen and 1% other gases.
And so NITROX 36 will contain 63% nitrogen, 36% oxygen and 1% other
gases. When diving with NITROX, the nitrogen percentage is reduced and
the oxygen percentage is increased.
Advantages of Using NITROX
The reduced amount of absorbed nitrogen usually makes the diver feel
more comfortable during and after the dive.
You have a choice between NITROX 32 and NITROX 36, you can decide on
the NITROX blend based on your personal needs.
The combined advantages of diving with NITROX means an additional gain
in safety as well as an extension of the no-stop time.
