Here's a question for someone with proper (and
creditible) resources.
Since the greatest "scare tactic" of this voodoo
gas is that if you exceed the MOD, how many diver deaths are actually attributed to a EANx diver
breathing gas beyond the MOD limits since the gas
became generally avail to NITROX certified rec divers?
I am sure there are more kept records on this topic in FLA than CA since it's used extensively
by the rec diving community there.
I would also like to know the percentage
comparison of bent divers who got injured on air compared to NITROX divers in recreational applications (so leave the industrial, sat, cavers, etc divers out). I'm sure DAN has
performed such a study, but I'm looking for other research.
