Nitrox dive computers typically can be used for either air or Nitrox mixtures up to 40% or richer. By programming the Nitrox mix into the dive computer, decompression limits are automatically adjusted for the breathing gas being used. Most newer dive computers are Nitrox programmable.
Nitrox analyzers, also known as oxygen analyzers, are used to verify the oxygen percentage in the Nitrox that is in your scuba tank. As a Nitrox diver, you are responsible for personally verifying your breathing gas prior to diving. For more technical diving using Tri-Mix, an oxygen-helium-nitrogen gas blend, Tri-Mix analyzers are also available. Both types of analyzers use sensors to determine the percentage of oxygen or helium in the tank. Oxygen sensors typically have a working life of 3-5 years or longer and helium sensors typically have a working life of 8-10 years or longer.
Accessories for Nitrox diving include special identification stickers/bands for scuba tanks filled with Nitrox, oxygen-compatible (Viton) O-rings and special oxygen-compatible lubricants.
