But if you are still pushing your no dec limits, how would nitrox benefit you? You are still getting the same nitrogen loading. You just get it faster using air.
You would be offgassing faster in the shallow/safety stop part of the dive so for the same length of safety stop will exit the water with less nitrogen loading.
Now, the difference in the amount of N2 eliminated between breathing air or 32% during a 3 minute safety stop is probably trivial, but you did ask!
