What visual aids can assist in planning Nitrox dives?

Dive tables and charts specific to Nitrox are essential tools for planning Nitrox dives because they provide critical information about permissible depths and no-decompression limits based on the specific blend of oxygen and nitrogen in the gas mix being used. These tools help divers accurately calculate their bottom time and ensure they stay within safe limits to avoid the risk of oxygen toxicity and decompression sickness.

Using these charts and tables, divers can easily determine how long they can safely stay at certain depths with their chosen Nitrox mix, thereby enhancing safety and improving overall dive planning. The structured and standardized format of dive tables and charts makes them user-friendly and effective for quickly finding necessary information during dive preparation.
