......I just had a surgical procedure done so I figured I could continue my diving education while laying in bed over the next few weeks. So unfortunately my diving season is over! ....
Hi ScubaNoob,
I know the feeling .... I am now finally recovering from a motorcycle accident I had in May (lot of broken bones all over my body :depressed
and I only got to do 4 dives the all summer
But now I am OK and plan to dive the Spiegel Grove in a couple of weeks on my way to DEMA.
Sorry for the long preamble ....
Since you can't dive for real, I suggest you virtual dive with our free eDiving simulator .... just to keep you in the diving mood and hear your bubbles
It includes a Nitrox mode (but you have to select a dive computer that supports it - so far we have 5 dive computers ..... more to come after DEMA) and when diving Nitrox you can see in the planning screen how FO2 and maxppO2 affects MOD and EDT.
With the simulator you can do a series of repetitive dives using Nitrox, (yes, between dives you can plug in the surface interval and see your N2 tissues loadings going down) then do them again with Air (try to follow the same depth profile) and compare the difference for the final N2 loadings.
And if you go deeper than your MOD ....... you will find out soon why you shouldn't do it
We designed the sim for people like you (and me not too long ago), that would like to dive for real, but for whatever reason they just can't do it.
Have fun
Alberto (aka eDiver)
