Re: Using 100% oxygen for offgasing
Exactly! It should not be used for recreational diving. Only for rescue purposes!
My name is Lisa and I'm a SCUBAholic. It's been toooo long since my last dive!

Re: Using 100% oxygen for offgasing
As long as you respect your MOD, and are certified in its use, you can use any combination of gases you would like and maintain a safe profile ![]() While O2 is normally used in decompression diving (as you would learn in Advanced Nitrox and Decompression Procedures) to off gas more efficiently in the shallower depths and accelerate decompression, I would not see it as inappropriate for recreational use. After all many rebreathers like the LAR V and the C-96 are oxygen CCR's which means they use only 100% O2 ![]() Using an oxygen CCR means you can only dive to 20 fsw...but you could also dive immediately before flying :o You would actually surface from the dive with LESS nitrogen in your system than when you started 8)
Don't believe the hype!

Re: Using 100% oxygen for offgasing
Er , we use 100 O2 to do deco after a long cave dive ... !!!
(of course , depends on the profile) Ginnie , being a fairly deep cave , even diving 32% , can put you into DECO rather quickly... Just my 2 cents worth... Jean P.S. This is VERY common down here ... But then , what DO I KNOW???
How's my diving? Call 1-800-EAT-FISH
