What is the primary benefit of using enriched air
The primary benefit of enriched air is to extend your no-decompression limits beyond
those of normal air. This has several advantages:
It extends your allowable bottom time.
It reduces any need to “push” (near) the air no-decompression limits.
It reduces your overall nitrogen load from multiple dives, so less nitrogen and less fatigue.
Enriched air extends your no-decompression limits in this way:
Our bodies absorb nitrogen while breathing air under pressure. Enriched air
replaces some of the nitrogen you would breathe underwater with oxygen, so
you absorb less nitrogen than you would for the same dive breathing normal air.
Our bodies metabolize and otherwise absorb the extra oxygen, so within limits, it
doesn’t pose any DCS problems.
This means you have longer no-decompression limits (more no stop dive time) for a
given depth than you do using air. How much longer depends on how much oxygen
is in the enriched air. Some examples comparing the no stop times for various depths
with air, EANx32 and EANx36 (based on the PADI RDP decompression model).
