View Poll Results: How does nitrox make you feel?
No different than air. 74 41.57%
Makes me less tired than air. 89 50.00%
Makes me more energetic than air. 15 8.43%
Makes me feel worse than air. 0 0%
Voters: 178.
With 58.43% believing that nitrox makes them less tired/more energetic than air, do you believe that subclinical DCS is at play here, or is it all a placebo effect?
I read that the deco tables were derived from doppler ultrasound studies demonstrating nitrogen bubbles, however, what do you think the smaller bubbles below the resolution of the ultrasound is doing to small capillaries, small arterioles?
Could it be that our dive tables are not conservative enough for up to 58% of the diving population?
