OK, now that clarifies your question.
The simple answer is; IF you have been breathing O2 for say 10 years and quit, that eleventh year isnt going to get here.

I dont know what you heard but forget it. NITROX is not new to diving. It has been around for many generations and it was used during WW1. Thats not the first Warm Water lover but World War One.
Before it ever got applied to Sport Diving it had been run through the ringer many, many times and what has emerged is a very safe gas when used as directed.
It was developed in the late 1800s so its not something new; it has been time tested. The mixtures allowed for sport are far less than what is used in other diving applications. So if you can afford it use it.
Some notice a benefit while others dont. But to know how you will react, try it and see for yourself.
