Nitrox is a gas mixture with a higher oxygen content than air. The oxygen content of air is approximately 21%, but nitrox mixtures can contain more than 21% oxygen. Nitrox is commonly used for diving and can help to reduce the risk of decompression sickness.

Nitrox contains more oxygen than the air we breathe, which means that we breathe in more oxygen. This can help us to breathe better while diving and to dive for longer periods of time. Nitrox can also help to reduce the risk of decompression sickness. Decompression sickness is a condition that occurs when nitrogen bubbles form in your body after diving. Nitrox can help to reduce the formation of nitrogen bubbles in the body, which can help to reduce the risk of decompression sickness.

 

Nitrox is a safe gas for diving, but it should be used with caution. If the oxygen content of nitrox is too high, it can cause breathing problems. Before diving with nitrox, you should be familiar with the oxygen content of the nitrox and be trained in nitrox diving.

 

Here are some of the advantages of nitrox:

• Improved breathing

• Longer dive times

• Reduced risk of decompression sickness

 

Here are some of the disadvantages of nitrox:

• High oxygen content can cause breathing problems

• Requires training to dive with nitrox
