It makes no difference what gas is in the tank; you get the same number of breaths. A cu ft is a cu ft.

i said, i will be doing 1 dive using 1 tank only.
last time i was using air, other people on the boat were using a nitrox, we almost assend and desend on the same time !! so why nitrox ? we were doing safty stop togeather !!
i though having more training might raise my bottom time, but im kinda hate the idea that im only allowed 20 to 30 min on most of the dives i do!!
Not a complete waste, as it still increases your safety margin with regards to DCS. You may still bump into your NDL when doing repetitive dives - nitrox would allow you to extend the NDL in those cases.So, if a diver says that you should get Nitrox so that you can dive longer, but you are an air pig and currently end your dive within the NDL and have less than 1000 psi on a 120CF tank, Nitrox is a waste?

What is a good SAC? What is a bad SAC?
I suck my steel 120 HPs as fast as a DM on AL 80s
