How many oxtox incidents have been reported by people using nitrox correctly anyways?
Yes I am still waiting to hear from offthewall about this... I have no idea how many recreational oxtox incidents there are and am quite interested in these statistics. Basically I posted a while back about nitrox courses without dives and a few people posted that it was important for students to be assessed in the water to make sure they do not exceed their MOD. Seeing as there seems to be more and more nitrox courses without dives and more people using nitrox I want to know if that has made any difference to the number of incidents that can be attributed to nitrox.
Teamcasa:More importantly, I like it, I can afford it and fact or fiction, I feel better after diving it.
I feel no different after diving with nitrox though I rarely dive with nitrox ($5 versus $16 fill) and do not use it for repetitive dives in general. My buddy says he definitely feels better after a dive with nitrox though. I think regardless of whether it is a placebo effect, if people feel better, great!
Offthewall, I don't tend to change my plan by 30ft once I have made one, regardless of how many sharks there are on the bottom. So I have never felt constrained by my MOD.
Also I hope people don't take the "Thanks" thing seriously... I have never heard something so silly in regards to that feature.
