Does nitrox make you feel good?

[wardric]

I was not tired after my last nitrox dive, so it must have been the Nitrox effect. I was using EAN 21 btw.

Hope it wasn't too expensive to get it from 20.7 up to 21.

It is marginal for extending bottom time.

MARGINAL? Where do you get that from?

 

[Charlie59]

Did you read that article in ScubaDiving? I didn't.

Is everyone crazy, there is little to no reason to believe that nitrox will make you feel better.

Ahem, Isn't this what we are trying to establish here?

From the PADI RDP:

Air - 70 FSW NDL = 40 minutes
EANx 36% - 70 FSW - NDL = 75 Minutes...

That's more than marginal

Increase your mix to 40% and add a few more minutes even

If you tell me you stay at 70 ft for 75 minutes I will agree with anything you say, oh wise one.

 

[WVDiver]

I will agree with anything you say, oh wise one.

Progress

If you tell me you stay at 70 ft for 75 minutes I will agree with anything you say, oh wise one.

why not? Is that impossible? I don't understand. If I dive to a 70 foot deep reef (like in Jupiter, FL), then why wouldn't I stay at or near 70 feet for the whole dive???

but for 75 min on an al80, you da man
