I'm considering nitrox as the next step, and will greatly appreciate some input on the following:
Thanks!
- Is there rule of thumb for how much longer BT EAN32 and EAN36 offer, as compared to regular air, all else being equal?
- Considering oxygen toxicitiy, what would be the depth limits for EAN32 and EAN36, as compared to the general depth limit of 120ft for recreational dives with regular air, all else being equal?
Agree with all. Not sure how much your air consumption will improve, as I think that may depend on how "good" a diver you are at the start and first few dives-- and how regularly you dive early on.As your diving improves your air consumption will also improve and you will find that even on relatively shallow dives you run out of NDL before running out of air. Nitrox is great for those situations. It is worth doing the course (but it should be included in OW or at least AOW but isn't).
To the contrary, many places I go the nitrox is free (no additional cost over air) or a negligible extra expense.Most places I've shopped Nitrox is more than double the cost of Air. Like $14 vs. $6. To me that is significant. I guess one could easily figure out what an extra $16US ($20 CAD) comes to per minute of extra bottom time you get on a two tank charter trip.
Thanks. First I've heard of that, but I've only patronized maybe 5 shops over the years.To the contrary, many places I go the nitrox is free (no additional cost over air) or a negligible extra expense.
