Nitrox also called "Enriched
Air Nitrox", "EANx", or "Safe Air"
has been in use for over 30 years by navy divers, professional
divers, and research divers. Nitrox is nothing else but regular
air, where part of the nitrogen is replaced by oxygen. Most
frequently used are EANx32 and EANx36, Nitrox with oxygen
content of 32% and 36%, respectively.
The relative increase of
oxygen reduces the absorption of nitrogen in our tissues,
thereby safely prolonging the non-deco limit compared to regular
air. The following table exemplifies the advantages of Nitrox:

Compared to regular air, non-deco limits are nearly doubled
with nitrox.
