Mixed-Gas Diving

Mixed-Gas Diving

Mixed-gas diving solves the threat posed by oxygen a depths greater than 90m. The air in mixed-gas diving has about one-half the concentration of oxygen (10%) as regular air. The remaining 90% of the tank is filled with helium, because it 's inert. This heli-ox mix allows divers, usually wearing FiberglassTM Kirby-Morgan helmets and dry suits, to dive even deeper. Controlled decompression is still required, but the oxygen and nitrogen toxicity problems (the bends) are solved. MORE! [AM] {NR}
