Why Enriched Air?
Nitrox has been used by scientific and naval divers since the 1960s and allows divers to safely extend their no decompression limits. The two most commonly used mixtures are EANx 32 and EANx 36 with 32% and 36% oxygen concentration respectively, compared to the 21% in normal air.
| Depth | Air NDL | EANx 32 NDL | EANx 36 NDL |
| 18 metres | 56 minutes | 75 minutes | 125 minutes |
| 22 metres | 37 minutes | 60 minutes | 70 minutes |
| 26 metres | 27 minutes | 40 minutes | 50 minutes |
Benefits include:
- Increased no decompression limit meaning longer dives
- Safer dives, as there is less nitrogen absorbed in your tissues
- Less physical tiredness after repetitive dives
