Diving with Nitrox

Nitrox (enriched oxygen content in regular air) allows you to dive the extended times and amount of dives that you will do while on  a liveaboard. Check the requirements of the operator you will be going with. You can probably take a course if you are not yet certified to dive Nitrox. Users report less fatigue and the enjoyment of being at depth longer due to the increased bottom times due to the reduction of nitrogen intake into the body.
