Advanced Nitrox
Mother Nature provided the planet with a NITROX atmosphere known as air. She never said that air was the best breathing medium for divers. Here, as in many other fields of endeavor, human beings have used their knowledge of natural laws to go one step beyond what Nature has provided for them. - J. Morgan Wells, Ph.D.
The latest technology in diving today is surely Nitrox Diving. Although Nitrox Diving is not new to the dive industry, recreational divers have only been using Nitrox since the late 1980's.
