You do not need to take the strongest possible blend. You could choose, on medical grounds, something that has a more modest excess of oxygen. You need to consult a hyperbaric doctor, or Divers Alert Network. I am not qualified to give you advice.My second question is about Nitrox. I am thinking of canceling my Nitrox dive because of risk of O2 toxicity.
The key things to learn on a nitrox course are the Maximum Operating Depth and the risks of oxygen toxiciry (pulmonary and instant). Discuss with your instructor.Is that a good idea? Or should I maybe just ask the instructor if we can do a shallow dive on Nitrox.
