Hi. I understand the basics and risks of Nitrox, but I have a questions regarding how your body feels after a 3-tank day.
I am going on a one-week trip (3 tanks a day). I have noticed when I dive that I have two rather unpleasant reactions: 1) my body just doesn't seem to like doing more than 2 tanks a day - nothing specific, just a low energy rather 'yucky' feeling if I do all three; and 2) I get heartburn (which I don't get normally).
I was wondering if using Nitrox would make doing the 3rd dive easier and more pleasant; and will it help the heartburn?
(BTW, what causes heartburn when you dive? And besides antacids, is there anything I can do to prevent it?)
Thanks in advance! Karin
