nitrox
Enriched breathing mixture
Nitrox is a breathing gas mixture used in scuba diving, containing a higher proportion of oxygen than normal air.
Standard air is about 21% oxygen; nitrox typically contains 32-40%.
The enriched oxygen allows longer bottom times and shorter surface intervals by reducing nitrogen absorption, but increases the risk of oxygen toxicity at depth.
She's nitrox certified.
