I've never tried nitrox but our shrimp love it. I add it to our shipping tanks....of course it's only "Hank's NiCrustOx blend" of an oxygen line going into a vigorously air mixed tank. They don't seem so tired at the end of a long shipment down to Mango Creek.

I rarely use nitrox for normal dives (shallower than 40m, no stop). It would near triple the cost of the fill for that dive and i cant see any benefit at all out of it. It doesnt make me feel less tired, there is no evidence it reduces the rate of DCS so why would i want to pay more>

Nitrox has a use if you get up against no stop times or want to reduce deco hangs but for me at least it isnt something i need to use on every dive. The cost/benefit just doesnt justify itself.

Use tri mix, the helium will lighten your tanks.

Not to mention how light it will make your wallet.

Who told you DIR wasn't about having fun diving?

Waste money? How exactly is Nitrox a waste of money? :huh:

Uuuummm.... because it costs more money than air? Extra dinero, green, cash, dough, ... you know what I'm talking about, right?

Go rebreather.

Wow. Somebody has too much time on their hands.

I didn't say DIR divers don't have fun..... Just saying DORK divers have MORE fun.
