Suppose I make Nitrox dives to recreational limits, is there benefit to using the rest of the Nitrox offgassing on the hangbar before heading up, if you have enough gas to safely hang more?
My guess is yes, that the extra oxygen at shallow depths would not be enough to cause O2 tox in most instances, but the higher O2 would decrease the Nitrogen bubbles in the blood.
I'm getting ready to make some Nitrox dives this weekend, followed by a flight home the next day. I don't plan to exceed the Do-Not-Fly timelimits, but I'd like to increase the safety factor (as the Do Not Fly times, in general, are coming down over time).
