I almost exclusively dive Nitrox. After all, there is no good reason not to. Or at least that is what they say. Frankly, I enjoy it and I prefer it.
Prior to a day of diving, I check my tanks for percent oxygen. Doesn't everyone?
I often wonder about the procedure(s) and mechanics involved in producing a tank of Nitrox.
How controlled is this procedure? What is the likelyhood of getting a tank of Nitrox that has been accidentally filled with 80% oxygen?
Most dive cons and boat captains are very helpful and safety concerned in this regard.
I have, on rare occasion, run accross the dive con that behaves as if checking percent oxygen is:
silly
a waste of time
ridiculous
Why is that? Is an incorrect fill impossible? How unlikely is it?
