Advanced Nitrox Diving

Advanced Nitrox diving involves using enriched air with a higher oxygen content than standard air, typically between 32% and 40%, to extend bottom time and reduce nitrogen absorption. It requires specialized training due to increased oxygen levels, which can pose risks of oxygen toxicity if not managed properly. Divers use advanced techniques and equipment to monitor oxygen exposure and optimize safety. This approach benefits experienced divers by allowing longer dives and safer nitrogen management, especially in environments where extended bottom time and reduced decompression are advantageous. Overall, it enhances diving efficiency while maintaining safety standards.
