Again, studies have shown there is no reduction of DCS for people using Nitrox compared to air within recreational limits. If you want a bona fıde way to buıld a safety factor in to scuba, don`t dive.
I would like to see that study. I think the key is to evaluate how it is/was being used. If was being used to extend bottom time, then that is perfectly understandable (extended bottom time = additional nitrogen loading = comparable risk). If it was being used with bottom times based around air, then I have a hard time believing it because of the reduced nitrogen loading.
If what you say is true, and DCS is just as prominent with EANx while using the air bottom times then there is no inherent value with EANx and a lot of people are wasting their money on both certs and nitrox fills.
