Page 49: Altitude And The Decompression Algorithm
4.9.2 Altitude and the decompression algorithm Atmospheric pressure is a function of altitude and weather conditions. This is an important aspect to consider for diving, because the surrounding atmospheric pressure has an influence on on-gassing and off-gassing of nitrogen in your body. The A1 divides the possible altitude range into 5 classes that are illustrated in the picture below:... -

4.10 Diving with Nitrox Nitrox is the term used to describe breathing gases made of oxygen-nitrogen mixes with the oxygen percentage higher than 21% (air). Because nitrox contains less nitrogen than air, there is less nitrogen loading on the diver’s body at the same depth as compared to breathing air. -
