Always feel better using Nitrox vs. compressed air when diving. Adds additional safety by reducing the surface interval (which is usually defaulted to the air surface interval on most dive boats).

As you said, 1.6 is possible for a emergency situation, maybe to save your buddy. But how long is a very short time? I would guess max one minute, enough to save someone. I didn't have a nitrox certificate jet, but I guess you would feel more save if you would know, how much is a very short time. I could imagine every one is different. I am not a pro but I would think 50sec to 70sec by 1.6?
@everythingscuba2 жыл бұрын
+Ben Heckendorn a difficult question to answer. If you have ever taken the Rescue Diver course, one of the first things you learn is to not become a victim yourself. This means if your buddy needed help and it meant violating your PO2 of 1.6 then you are absolutely putting yourself at risk of becoming a victim. In such a scenario the “Stop-Think-Act” phrase is very apt. Can you accomplish a rescue without significant risk to yourself? How quickly could you do it and are you willing to accept that risk? The best way to avoid this is not not even get close to 1.6. I set my computers to warn me when I get within 10 feet of my MOD on any Nitrox mix before I even reach 1.4.
@benheckendorn26962 жыл бұрын
@@everythingscuba well I sadly just stared, since 10-21-21, I'm OWD SSI. But I worked for nearly 8 years as volunteer firefighter, so I know you should never push yourself in danger. But I couldn't leave my buddy at 50 meters, if I was near to save him/her. I know I would risk my own health, but if I know I got around a minute by 1.6 I would know, I could help in such a situation. Sure you should already give your buddy a sign to come back much earlier. But even then, emergency could happen every time.

@@everythingscuba thank you so much! I will do the nitrox certificate, well I couldn't give up a buddy or anyone in danger, sure I hope such would never happen, but if. I guess I would give myself max 70 sec. so if I could save, great, if not I had tryed at least. 😔 I know it is always difficult, to save someone you should put you a bit in danger, but the line between danger and deadly danger. So I got a high respect from all who work in rescue? Because they push themselfes always at limits. Sure what you do is the best, warning 10m before you reach 1.6 so you always know: I could 10 meter more savely. Well if I would even guide a dive, I would mix the nitrox for 60 meter when I plan to go to 50m. I guess others may plan a reserve. Would be nice to know if they do.

Yes. 1. Like any scuba unit you would eventually run out if gas. 2. Nitrox has a decreased amount of nitrogen but eventually you would also reach and pass the non decompression limit. This is why each mix of Nitrox also has its own dive tables.

PO2 1.4 ata / FiO2 0.21 = 6.667; MOD is 56.6m; Mathematically one can dive to 56.6m on compress air. Why is it not recommended?
@everythingscuba2 жыл бұрын
You are correct that air can be used down to around 185 feet or 56 m with a PO2 that remains at 1.4 or less. However, the effects of nitrogen narcosis at that depth would be almost overwhelming for most divers. We also have to take into account the effect that nitrogen would have on your central nervous system and the narcotic effects from that gas could impair your ability to dive that deep. Although it’s not impossible and many divers have been that deep on air, we would certainly not recommend it. Also in terms of recreational divers we limit the recreational depth to a maximum of 140 feet.(42.6 m) this is because beyond that depth you could quickly earn a decompression debt. Increased gas consumption and also nitrogen loading would have a huge impact on your ability to decompress on the way back to the surface, and whether you’d have enough gas to allow this. Therefore as a single tank recreational diver we would never recommend diving beyond 130 feet or over 40 m. I hope this explanation helps? Thanks for watching!
