Common reasons for diving nitrox

[boulderjohn]

Has anyone noticed/paid attention to this warning on the PADI dive tables:

Note: Since little is presently known about the psychological effects of multiple dives over multiple days, divers are wise to make fewer dives and limit their exposure toward the end of a multiday dive series.

Extended bottom time is top of the list.

Less deco time

LOL....yea! I remember back in the olden days we could get 'peppermint' flavored air....they were probably just covering up the oily taste of unfiltered fillthy air---gee. It was avlb. all over the country in the early 70's.....they said it was to off set dry mouth....yea we were all probably government ginnie pigs.

I dive nox 32 and use air tables for the
extra margin of safety!

im a nitox diver as well and your really not being safe my using air tables you have to watch you depth with more o2 because of your 02 sat.. is worse then shorter bottom time going it to deco when your 02 sats are over is not good you can decompress of nitrogen but you cant o2

I dive with Nitrox 40 for one good reason...after shore diving at Reef Point, I can breathe it going UP the stairs.

He meant within the MOD of the mix. If you use air tables, you are making a more consevative dive. That's the safety factor.

You mean you dont use flavored air!!! I use it for every dive, this stuff is great.
