What is the best method to track your oxygen and nitrogen exposure while diving?

Using a Nitrox programmable dive computer is the best method to track your oxygen and nitrogen exposure while diving because it is specifically designed to account for the different gas mixtures associated with Nitrox. This type of dive computer can continuously calculate your exposure to both oxygen and nitrogen in real-time throughout your dive.

The Nitrox programmable dive computer allows you to input the specific percentage of oxygen in your breathing gas, which is critical for managing oxygen toxicity and nitrogen narcosis. It keeps track of your partial pressure of oxygen and your no-decompression limits based on your specific gas mix, providing you with accurate information tailored to your dive profile.

This allows divers to plan their dives more effectively and ascend safely, as it takes into consideration the unique properties of enriched air Nitrox compared to air. Thus, a Nitrox programmable dive computer enhances safety and helps prevent decompression sickness by providing precise monitoring of both oxygen and nitrogen exposure during the dive.
