Hello everyone!
I just signed up for the Enriched Air course at my LDS. 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! So to my questions:
It looks easy enough, but what are the major concerns when diving Nitrox? Depth?
I'm not a pro at reading tables (love my computer)...should I brush up on my open water tables or dive into my Nitrox tables? Assuming I only dive with enriched air in the future my old tables would be obsolete, correct? My goal is to use the computer between my ears more and rely less on my battery operated one.
Nitrox seems like a logical path for most divers, are there any of your guys/girls that just don't see the need for using it? And why?
Thanks everyone....I'm probably asking silly questions but I have a good excuse. Pain medication....good pain medication!
