Could someone explain the advantages of nitrox and why you would have to take a certification class for it? Im very new to diving and am just curious. All i know is it gives more bottom time which is always good.

drrich2:You may find this interesting; once you start using a scuba tank for nitrox, it's dedicated to nitrox. You don't alternate air and nitrox in the same tank.
The classes generally don't cost that much and you'll learn something . . . learning something about one's hobby, especially if it can have a seriously negative affect upon one completing one's natural nitrogen cycle, is always a good thing.
