Nitrox
or Enriched Air Diver
Why
Nitrox or Enriched Air Diver?
By
diving with Nitrox or Enriched air rather than standard
air you can extend your no decompression limits. This means
more time underwater. For example, if you dive to 15 metres/50
feet on air, your no decompression limit is 80 minutes.
But, diving on EANx36
gets you 220 minutes
of no decompression time - an increase of 140 minutes.
