What's NITROX ?
"Nitrox", more commonly known as Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx), is
any combination of nitrogen oxygen (N2/O2). The first breath we took
coming
in this world was Nitrox. In fact every breath we took since has been
Nitrox.
The first dive we took using compressed air was Nitrox. Compressed air
is 79/21, meaning 79% nitrogen (N2) and 21% oxygen (O2). EAN or Nitrox
diving is diving with Air or Gas blends higher then 21% oxygen (normal
Air).
What are the Advantages using Nitrox?
In short word's significant longer bottom time at a specific depth.
As you recall from your Open Water Course, our body absorbs nitrogen
from the air we breathing, depending on time and depth we spend diving.
Diving on NITROX we reduce the partial pressure of nitrogen while
adding oxygen in our gas mixture. This results in less nitrogen
absorption
while diving and gives us more bottom time!
Simple ? Very view things are simple as they first appear. The Nitrox
Diver course teach you all about save Nitrox diving.
Mother nature provide the planet Earth with a Nitrox
atmosphere
know as air. She never said that air was the best breathing medium for
divers. Here, as in many other fields of endeavor, human beings have
used
their knowledge of nature laws to go one step beyond what Nature has
provided
for them. (J. Morgen Wells, Ph.D. Director of the national Oceanic
& Atmospheric Administration, Diving Program)
