then up at your buddy with a big regulator smile and you give him the Okay.
There’s no need for words—you both know this dive isn’t going to end anytime
soon. You are both diving with enriched air nitrox!
What is Enriched Air Nitrox?
Enriched air nitrox is a great tool to help you enjoy longer dives. Enriched air
makes this possible because it contains less nitrogen and a higher percentage of
oxygen than normal air. This means that you absorb less nitrogen as you dive,
giving you more bottom time!

Cost: $175
