Any reported cases of Ox Tox between 1.4 and 1.6?

This whole discussion is so silly. Some are saying that diving 1.2 is fine because you will run out of gas before reaching NDL. The obvious conclusion from that is that there is no need to use a dive computer when using nitrox. LOL.

An intelligent risk/benefit analysis for nitrox for a recreational diver could be very simply made by posting a tabular comparison of the NDL for say air, 32%, 34% and 36% for various depths and the associated PP of O2. The reader would be able to see the numerical value of the extended NDL versus oxygen exposure. I'm not going to do it, but I'm sure some of you can easily do it.

Arguing that "nobody" on a single tank can go into deco with nitrox is stupid.

How bout if you use a steel 100 or even a 120? Or does no one do that either

Extremely rare in the recreational diving world.

Agreed. That's why no one has said that.

Steel 100s are very common off the rec boats in SE Florida

Really?

I always dive 120s in Cozumel, as do many others. I dive LP 85s generally overfilled to the equivalent of a 95 or even 100 in Florida. Lots of other people I see on the boats are doing something similar.

But not on the boats in the Keys.

I dive in Boynton Beach, Palm Beach, and Jupiter
