AOW Gives a $300 High Oxygen Course as a Gift
The higher the percentage of oxygen in the cylinder, the lower the proportion of nitrogen. This is also the main benefit of high-oxygen diving: when diving, you will inhale less nitrogen gas. In this case, you can obtain a longer allowable diving stay time, especially when you need to repeat deep dives.
Simply put,
it means a decrease in nitrogen content → an extension of the no stay time → an extension of the stay time for diving at the same depth
