What is Nitrox? | SCUBA 101

In this video, Jonathan explains how Nitrox (oxygen-enriched air) extends the no decompression limit for divers over using plain old air, and why this gas has shallower maximum operating depths, making it a good "intermediate" breathing gas for scuba diving.

BLUE WORLD SCUBA 101 is a series of educational videos explaining equipment, technology and techniques of scuba diving. However it is for entertainment purposes only. Scuba 101 should not be considered a replacement or substitute for professional scuba training.
