How do you decide when to dive with Nitrox?

Question

Beyond the depth limits of Nitrox, what are the determining factors for when you use Nitrox?

Answer 1

You should get yourself certified with NITROX and dive the different blends. While in California I was diving NITROX and had to make a long surface swim while breathing off the blend. I felt like I was doing great because I wasn't getting tired as in the past when I've had to make a long surface swim. Then I remembered I was breathing NITROX and boy did it make a difference. A lot of times on driving home I've continued to breathing a NITROX blend driving home.

Answer 2

I usually use nitrox on my second of a two tank boat dive.  I will also use nitrox when we are instructing at the lake.  We usually do multiple classes over the weekend so I use nitrox to keep from get too tired from divemastering on multiple days.

Answer 3

If im going to have several dives over several days.  So i dont get too tried too fast

Answer 4

I always use Nitrox 32. I feel better after diving using it.

Answer 5

I use it any time I am going to do multiple dives across multiple days - especially on destination dive trips. I like the increased bottom time on repetitive dives while allowing for shorter surface intervals if diving two tanks in the morning and two tanks in the afternoon.
