Serious question, Nitrox and extended erections

[formernuke]

I'm going to put a rush on it and see if I can do my advanced nitrox before intro to tec.

I've been trying to come up with something good to say but there's truly some stiff competition on this forum!

C’mon, it’s not THAT hard.

"
If this is serious have you tried just using air to see if it's any better or worse."

Yes. There is no issue with air because we can't dive as long, so less nitrogen build up.

Glenn, it's usually 32%. If you're only diving once or twice, I would imagine that's why.

We're not seeing this is other divers on liveaboards etc. That's why thinking it can't be just the nitrox.

Maybe it’s not the nitrogen, but the oxygen.

That's repetitive treatments using 100% O2 though and still had less consistency than OP's testimony (or teste-imony)

Maybe he's going too deep too fast. Have you considered not penetrating the water unless you're blowing air bubbles?

That or name your problem Richard. Sounds like he won't be softening up any time soon

If you're staying within NDLs, diving on nitrox may allow you to dive for a longer period time, but you shouldn't be building up more nitrogen. It's the same amount of nitrogen, just takes longer to build it up.
