Hello Yorkie Gone Under,
Not wishing to start an in depth one but, to quote you...
1st post
one teeny-weeny point. Nitrox does NOT lower your suceptibility to DCS / AGE in any noticeable fashion. The built in safety margins of diving air tables / computers using nitrox as a back gas give you a more conservative profile (which i would strongly advise on a liveaboard anyway). We have had numerous cases of divers being bent for all kinds of reasons, in water as shallow as 10 metres.

Not trying to sound smart, but Nitrox does not reduce the incidence or causation of DCS/AGE, dont rely on it to do so.
My Reply.
If you dive nitrox on air tables or air computer then you DO significantly reduce the risk of decompression sickness. Remember we are absorbing less nitrogen which is the important factor. If we do this we are diving much more conservatively !
Nitrox using EAD's are no more conservative, fair point to raise mate. Just thought I should put my oar in, not wanting to be argumentative, honest !!  |
