Nitrox?

[Centrals]

Speaking from my own experiences ONLY.
I do feeling better after every nitrox dive from EAN 21 - 36.
I couldn't careless what others claimed cause it is none of my business.

Is critical flicker fusion frequency an accepted and validated marker for fatigue? Is there more data in the last 13 years? Personally, I don't find the study design acceptable. Ideally, the same divers would do the same dives in a blinded manner with either air or nitrox. This is not even close,

Just like all that deep breathing when I used to freedive a lot. My body and brain would get oxygenated and I felt great. When I dive nitrox my body and brain get more oxygenated with the increased PPO2 and less N. I have great more vivid dreams and I feel great!
Screw all of you, you can debunk all you want I don’t buy it.
I love my nitrox and YES it makes me feel better!

You blew off your CO2 before your freedives and blunted the stimulus to breathe. That is how shallow water blackouts occur, lack of oxygen.

$170 for a perfectly good recreational computer with big enough numbers to read for old people. Tell me why he needs to spend $675 on a Shearwater Peregrine.

If he doesn't want to dive the PZ+ deco algorithm. I would imagine it would be fine for @mac66

Can’t imagine anyone would be able to tell you why, given that Peregrines don’t cost that much.

He's limited on gas, not NDL and is an occasional older cruise ship diver. The algorithm means nothing to him.

post 37 in this thread says otherwise.

Peregrine

The Peregrine by Shearwater is a simple and easily accessible, full colour, multi-gas dive computer. Peregrine is your ideal companion for dive adventures.

Edit: Sorry I'm presently visiting Canada and that is Canadian Dollars, my bad.

Nitrogen narcosis goes away if you ascend a bit. Are you saying it gives you fatigue that stays with you?

I am saying that I have found dives, as a whole, where I experienced narcosis to be more fatiguing than similar dives where I didn't experience it.

I've appeared to have opened a can of worms...LOL

I really appreciate all the feedback I've gotten. It's very interesting.

What I've decided to do is...

A. pick up a cheap dive computer
B. Continue to dive my OW dives on cruises, which are typically fairly short (35-45 mins) and not too deep (<60')
C. Look into getting nitrox if/when i decide to get more into diving and/or join a dive club if we decide to spend the winters in Florida next year.
