Diving with NITROX is becoming more and more popular. This comes as no surprise, because those who dive with NITROX instead of conventional pressurized air:

absorb less nitrogen during the dive, which increases their well-being during and after the dive in brief: 

benefit from considerably prolonged no-stop times, meaning they can stay at their maximum dive depth longer. 

To summarize, diving with NITROX means more comfort, an additional gain in safety, or a decisive extension of the no-stop time. 

 

 

The normal air that we breathe consists of 78 % nitrogen, 21 % oxygen and one percent other gases.

 

While the gas mix NITROX is made up of the same components, the percentages are somewhat different: NITROX32 has a nitrogen content of 67 %, an oxygen content of 32 % and 1 % other gases.

 

NITROX36 consists of 63 % nitrogen, 36 % oxygen and 1 % other gases. In any case, the nitrogen content is reduced while the oxygen portion is increased.

 

 

 

 

 

The increased oxygen percentage has benefits, the most important one being that the diver absorbs considerably less nitrogen while diving, which increases his physical well-being during and after the dive. Another result is that the reduced nitrogen absorption and the increased well-being mean additional safety.

Further decisive advantages: The use of NITROX allows for longer no-stop time (maximum diving depth). And by choosing NITROX32 or NITROX36 the individual mix can be adapted to personal needs.
