PADI ENRICHED AIR
NITROX |
The major
advantages of diving with Nitrox instead of air are increased safety
and protection from decompression sickness. Specifically: Nitrox is
simply air that is enriched with additional oxygen. A Nitrox
mixture has an oxygen concentration between 22% and 50%. Nitrox is
cleaner than ordinary compressed air because it contains less
condenses hydrocarbons.
No decompression time limits (NDL)
are significantly extended which adds an extra safety margin and/or
increases allowable bottom times.
There is a reduction of
nitrogen's narcotic effect and post-dive fatigue levels.
Although it's maximum operating
depth is 150 feet the ideal diving depths for Nitrox are between 40
and 130 feet.
Your own equipment may be
properly cleaned and serviced for Nitrox, according to
manufacturer's guidelines, by a certified ANDI Service Technician.
There is no better way to achieve
added safety and ease of dive planning than to use an
"air" dive computer and breathe Nitrox. |
