Nitrox courses have been devised to present essential information on oxygen 
toxicity and management and the EAD principle.This information is crucial
to safe diving practice on nitrox. O2 toxicity is more brutal than narcosis
and to mess around with nitrox mixtures without the correct basic training
is literally to invite certain tradgedy.Think carefully, is your life worth
more than about eighty pounds (basic EANx), or will you just have a go?
