I was talking with a dive buddy the other day, and ran into a question. I can't seem to find my EANx booklet anymore, so figured I would ask here.
Because Nitrox has an increased percentage of O2, it seems that you would be more susceptible to oxygen toxicity at APPROPRIATE depth. Is this correct, or does this only apply when you pass depth x ? *Obviously, you would be more prone to it if you chose not to adhere to the max allowable depth correlating with the blend you're diving, but if you ARE following the correct profile, are you still more susceptible to O2 toxicity?
