The underwater beauty of Maldives‘ marine life would just want you to last longer hours diving
Nitrox would extend your underwater hours and allow you to discover more of Maldives beneath the surface
Nitrox is another method of scuba diving among those divers who would want to dive for longer periods of time. And at the same time, Nitrox also reduces the chances of having the common diver’s complication, decompression sickness.
NItrox is a portmanteau of the words “Nitrogen” and “Oxygen”, which literally mixes the two gases to form a compound of enhanced air that could last divers underwater for longer periods of time. The air on the Earth’s surface is composed of 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen, which could also be considered Nitrox. However, the Nitrox used for diving contains more Oxygen than that on the Earth’s surface.
So basically, the difference between regular scuba diving tanks and Nitrox tanks is the type of air mixtures in their cylinders. Regular scuba diving tanks have a specific ratio of Oxygen to Nitrogen that tries to replicate the actual air found on the Earth’s surface as close as possible, or simply, the air that we breathe. While in Nitrox tanks, modifications in air mixtures are done in order to maximize “bottom time” or the diver’s time spent underwater and minimize surface intervals, which are the time durations that a diver must spend above the surface before diving again.
