Nitrox: 5 Situations For Every Scuba Diver To Use EANx

Nitrox. Every Scuba Diver's best friend? We're dispelling 4 common myths about Nitrox, and explaining what Nitrox is and why Nitrox is for every diver.

Nitrox, or EANx (Enriched Air Nitrox) is a widely mis-understood breathing gas. We wanted to demystify the 'whats' and the 'whys' of scuba diving Nitrox as well as to explain 5 situations in which Nitrox is best used. We're even taking you through a Nitrox dive planning exercise to show you how Nitrox extends your No-Decompression Limit (NDL.)

What is Nitrox? What depths do divers use NItrox? Who should use Nitrox? When should you do a Nitrox Specialty Course? We're an swering all the common questions associated with Nitrox diving.

Thanks for watching, Team!

For anyone curious on the rules of nitrox and depth. It's about the partial pressure of oxygen (using bars and meters to explain). For every 10 meters you go down, the pressure of the gas you breath in increase one bar. Surface 1 bar, 10 meters 2 bar, 20 meters 3 bar and so on. At the surface the partial pressure of oxygen is about 0.21 bar (as atmospheric air is 21% oxygen). You shouldn't get a partial pressure more than 1.4 of oxygen (about 56.6 (185 ft) meters down on air, known as the maximum operation depth), since you are at a high risk of cramps and convulsions. When you increase the oxygen content of your mix to 30%, your maximum operation depth is only approximately 36.6 meters (120 ft).

Calculation is somewhat simple Mod in meter = (1.4/O2p - 1)*10, where O2p is the oxygen content in your mix (for air 0.21). Most modern dive computers can give you, your MOD. Get a nitrox course, it is one of the most value for money specialty courses you can take, and is valuable in every corner in the world, where you intend to dive.

as a user from the metric system, i greately appreciate you taking the time to think about us too ^_^

I have been diving Nitrox for 25 year. has nothing to do with depth or otherwise. It is about being able to drive home after 2 dives without falling asleep.

[davidanderson]

After getting Nitrox certified, I figured these points out myself, but it's good to see them listed. One rule I have is always to do my last dives on holiday as nitrox dives, to give me an extra margin of safety on the airplane flight home.

Absolutely LOVE your channel! Melbourne FL here. Just discovered your channel a few days ago. I’ve been PADI certified for almost 30 years but it’s been forever since I went diving. I’m about to get re-certified next month and am getting my partner certified. Your channel has been a huge help to me in getting back in the game after 20 years. Basics are the same but so many more options out there now. 👍🏼

This lad answers my questions without be having to ask them. Top job Jamesy...keep up the good work. Dive safe and dive often.

[DM-tyfe]

I’ve never really agreed with diving nitrox and setting your computer to You lose your O2 CNS tracking and if something does happen, no one including the MD will have an accurate idea of your loading. If you want to dive more conservative, change your gradient factors etc. or dive a more conservative profile. Just my opinion.

[jamesgorman]

Thank you. I'm getting back into diving again after retiring from the Navy. I've really enjoyed your vids and find them very helpful!

[LouisSJWolmarans]

Tx again for the awesome content James. My wife and I did our Nitrox certification 2 years ago on recommendation of the DM on location. Makes me much more relaxed knowing that we are even a little safer when done correctly.

Keep up the stellar work!

If your NDL cuts you short you can adjust your depth as well, wrecks start at sand bottom and often stand more than 40 feet tall, reefs are not flat most often they also range in depth! I am not rich, so I rather not sacrifice the extra 20 bucks and get one or two more dive trips a month!
Nitrox is awesome, less tiring more time under water less surface interval! Way to Like your

[jumbodog]

It’s been a while since I went diving … and this was a perfect refresher😊 thanks man !

If you just cover safety procedures / other effects / mitigations / checks and partial pressures / etc - you’ve pretty much got the full certification covered my dude 😂

[garysmitherman]

Great clear explaiantion James . Good to hear your southern English accent . From a Brit over the pond.

[tontsyy]

Thanks for this ! Keeping my knowledge topped up as often as possible when I’m not diving!

[marklafavor]

Hahaha! I did notice the switch on the computers...only because I dive with the Perdix! Had my wife watch this so she could better understand why Nitrox is a great option depending on what you are diving. Thanks for the awesome videos.

[andrelabuschagne]

Awesome video. Enjoy watching your content

[jesspeoples]

I love diving nitrox. It was my very first specialty course. After diving nitrox, I feel fantastic.

[sportdiver]

These are great. Nice to have a level headed perspective to get more people into the sport. And let's face it (Sting) was great cameo ;)

[bigmikc]

Haven't taken my open water cert yet but I'm learning a ton watching these videos.

[slgarrett]

I’m sold. I just finished my opened water certification. I guess next stop will be Nitrox.
