howarde:I would go for it... but I would also ask myself...
Do I end dives because of NDL's or because of Air Consumption. If Air Consumption is the main reason you are ending dives, rather than NDL, you may want to wait to actually dive nitrox until you need it.
Or not... You can dive it anyway, even if you're sucking it up quickly... You just pay a few bucks more per tank.
Either way... take the training.
ScubaSixString:I had this thought last night while trying to fall asleep. Even if you're a hoover, there is a NITROX benefit. Shorter surface intervals.
m7scuba:Not to mention that you "feel better" after the dives.
That's true for some people, but not others. Here's an old poll on Nitrox and fatigue. As I stated back then, I initially saw a difference between air and nitrox, but the difference disappeared once I started doing deep stops.JimLap:And yes you do feel better after a dive!!
Blackwood:Not everyone does. I don't get a "feel better" benefit.
