Nitrox is a breathing gas consisting of oxygen and nitrogen (similar to air), but with a higher proportion of oxygen than the normal 20.9%.
Several other terms for the same exist: Enhanced Air Nitrox, Oxygen Enriched Air, Nitrox, EANx or Safe Air. Nitrox is mainly used in Scuba diving to reduce the proportion of nitrogen in the breathing gas mixture. Breathing nitrogen at depth causes two problems : decompression sickness and nitrogen narcosis. Reducing the proportion of nitrogen by breathing Nitrox can have two benefits:
- reduces the risk of decompression sickness
- extends dive times without increasing the need for decompression stops
Nitrox is not a deep-diving gas mixture due the increased proportion of oxygen in Nitrox
