Good video. As I have advanced in diving I have had the curiosity to understand it more. Grade me: We can breathe 100% Oxygen at the surface all day long but we cannot/should not breathe 100% O2 at anymore than 1.6 atmospheres which equals 20 feet deep. 1.6 comes from "1" for the surface + .6 x 33 which =19.8 or 20 feet deep. At depths deeper than 20 feet we have to back off the O2/Nitrox percentage which leads us to our Max Operating Depths for a given percentage. In recreational diving out MODs are calculated at a PPO2 of 1.4 for safety.

Scott Selkey absolutely correct! And in technical diving you will find divers frequently hang a bottle of 100% O2 at the 15-20’ stop to increase their nitrogen off gassing during their last and most important deco stop. But beware: the gear most divers dive with is only built to handle 40% oxygen and will catch fire with higher percentages. There are special regulators build for 100% O2 which (to the best of my knowledge) are always colored bright green. If you decide to breath 100% O2, make SURE you get the training, understand the risks, have knowledgeable buddies, and use the proper equipment for that purpose. Bryan, as always, great content.

Hi Brian Can you tell me how to calculate the amount of exposure to oxygen from multi-depth dives As the tables are based on the fixed depth according to the values of exposure And the second question does it appear in the Maris Smart Air computer? the % of exposure ? The third question: i know that nitrogen absorbs less than oxygen in diving usually. If that is the case, does oxygen have the same property, or is it that when it reaches the upper limit of 1.4, we can only go up to a higher levels and drop quickly? I hope the question is correct If you think it is appropriate to explain it in a video, I would be grateful As our trainer died, he made a technical dive at 65 meters, then after he finished the dive after 20 minutes and at a depth of 35 meters, he wanted to change to the Nitrox 37 cylinder, so he mistakenly replaced it to the cylinder with a concentration of 80, where according to the words of those who were with him, the oxygen was almost at His ascent reached 1.6. When the error occurred, the ratio shifted to 3.55. Can you explain what happened? Thank you for your wonderful communication.

Hello sniper hunch, just to keep this short, this would make a great video reply. That being said, its very difficult to show on paper (that means use tables) to calculate the exposure to oxygen at multiple levels, with out using formulas or computer calculations with ease. Not impossible, but in 2021 its much safer to use a computer to do this. Back in the day, we use to use the PADI wheel to do this, as it was a table based on multi-level diving. PADI discontinued this many years ago. To clarify the difference between Nitrogen and Oxygen though, our body absorbs Nitrogen but metabolizes Oxygen. And yes, the Mares Smart Air, once in Nitrox mode, will tell you your oxygen exposure at depth, and will compensate if you descend deeper or ascend shallower. Hope this answers your question.

Hello Steve, our Oxygen Clock set for any single dive (150 minutes), or dives over a 24 hour period (180 minutes) is the easiest example. Theoretical Depths and Times, whether we use the tables or our computers, should always be monitored. For 32% to reach a partial pressure of 1.4, you would need to go beyond the depth of 111ft(sw). Here is a video we did showing you how to calculate this theoretical depth. kzitem.info/news/bejne/qaVpy6aFpIB2i4Y

Great video! Subscribed! Have a question sir. If I bought a dive computer and set it to Nitrox...could I set it to 21 percent under the Nitrox setting if I was diving regular air and second dive switching to Nitrox or would I have to use the regular air setting on my watch and then switch the watch to Nitrox on the second dive? I would think I could just use the Nitrox setting for everything and just adjust the percentage of air? Please let me know what you think and thank you 🤠
@LakeHickoryScuba

Hello Randle’s Life Outdoors, Thank You for the subscribe, and the great question. Yes you can leave your computer in Nitrox and set it to 21%. In fact most computers require a 24 hour time frame after making a Nitrox dive, before you can switch it back to air mode. So switching over to 21% Nitrox for an air dive after a Nitrox dive is required.

@LakeHickoryScuba

Hello Oggy Oi, most computers will allow you to change the PPO2 setting. As far as 21% air is concerned, the 218 feet depth rating for oxygen toxicity (set at 1.6ata), is not that big of a concern. Your maximum depth rating as a recreational diver is 130 feet. At this depth, Nitrogen Narcosis is a bigger risk than Oxygen Toxicity. Hope this helps.

Ok let’s say I go down to 33’ (2ata) with 40% mix that gives me a PPO2 of .8 if I remain at that depth does my PPO2 increase? Or do I just get more bottom time because of less nitrogen build up.
@LakeHickoryScuba
Жыл бұрын
Hello user-mh6ug6ql4c, great question. During your Nitrox course, you learned about your oxygen clock. The sacrifice of Nitrogen Oversaturation changes to Oversaturation of Oxygen, which could lead to Oxygen Toxicity. For a single dive not to exceed a PPO2 of 1.4 a diver would need to limit his dive to a maxium of 150 minutes.

If I understood you correctly from your illustration, breathing 32% at the surface is the same as 32%. At 33', breathing 32% is like breathing 64% (2 ATA). So at 66', breathing 32% would be like breathing 96%. So a little more than 70' breathing 32% would be like breathing 100% O2, yet I thought anything below about 30' on 100% O2 was fatal, causing seizure, loss of consciousness = death? Obviously I'm not understanding something is your presentation as the MOD for EAN32 is around 110'.

Partial Pressures increase with depth. The general understanding of 1.4 being the maximum partial pressure of 02, before it becomes toxic, the partial pressure of 32% (.32) at a depth of 70 feet the partial pressure would be 99ppO2, well under the 1.4 threshold. 100% O2 (1.0) would have a substantial chance of becoming toxic at a depth of 13.2 feet of (sw). Typically, this is calculate at a 1.6 partial pressure, which would make the maximum depth be 19.8 feet of (sw). Using the Magic Circle Formula (the T formula), we can simply take .32 (32%) x 3.12 (70ftsw) and see that our partial pressure of O2 is at 99ppO2. Still well with in our maximum partial pressure. Calculating 100% would simply be 1.6 (Contingency ppO2) / 1 = 1.6ata. Then simply (1.6ata - 1) x 33 = 19.8 feet of (sw). Hope this clears it up for you Ken Fern.

Hello Bill in short, anything above a 1.4 PPO2 of Oxygen, we run the risk of Oxygen Toxicity. Depending on the physiological make up of a human body, this number can be calculated up to a 1.6 PPO2. The 1.4 is a conservative number that the industry has used for many years for safety concerns.

Is AtA has fixed rate . 1.32 ???
@LakeHickoryScuba
4 жыл бұрын
Hello Hoda lbrahim. Yes and no. The constant AtA at the surface will always be 14.7 (psi) sometimes argued to be 14.5 (psi), which can change based off altitude. For most calculations in Scuba Diving, 14.7 will be sufficient to use. Now depending on if you use the metric or imperial system, underwater things will calculated differently. In the imperial system, we focus on the water itself (either Freshwater or Saltwater), to determine the AtA. Freshwater changes atmospheric pressure every 34ft, and Saltwater changes atmospheric pressure every 33ft. In the metric system, we use a constant of just 10 meters. All this being said, the actual psi per AtA is still measured at 14.7 (psi). Now in the event that I have misread your question and you were asking what the depth would be with an AtA of 1.32, then it would be 3.2 meters (metric), 10.88 ft (fw), or 10.56 ft (sw). Hopefully this makes sense to you.
