<font color='#000F22'>Thats a new one on me. I've never heard of a BCD that states not suitable for nitrox. Can't imagine why - the molecular weight, expansion rate etc is of little difference. Does it say why?

I can only imagine it's to do with the increased O2 content &amp; possible being a safety precaution in the same way your reg is cleaned. IMO it wouldn't make any difference. If you've got a drysuit then it's only a surface/ back up buoyancy device
