Every day something new comes along to capture our imagination, new technology, safe techniques or whatever. Then comes along an old idea, revamped, better thought out and so much safer than it was earlier.

 To scuba divers this would not seem a concern, as the
Aviox in their scuba tanks is just that, pure fresh clean air.
To enriched Aviox+ divers the above formula will tell the diver how the mixture of Aviox in the scuba cylinders can be enriched by up to 40% and sometimes more with pure Oxygen.
The above equation is necessary so that Enriched Air Divers can safely plan and execute a scuba dive using mixtures that will allow them to stay underwater longer if they wish or, simply enjoy greater safety margins than they would, if they dived to standard Air tables.
 Enriched Air diving involves specialised training that must take place before divers can obtain enriched air refills or purchase certain pieces of equipment used for enriched air.
Nitrox training is a prerequisite before Rebreather training or purchase.
Enriched Air Diving allows divers the safety they are looking for with the added benefits of extended bottom times without the need for lengthy decompression stops.
