Whatever happened to NITROX...

[jasondbaker]

I think nitrox still suffers a bit from some misconceptions. Some dive shops treat it as casually as air and others treat it like dynamite. Some shops require the tank to be O2 cleaned for <40% premix fills. Some shops will not put hyper filtered air in a tank with a nitrox sticker.

One of the dive shops in the cities is now selling nitrox fills at the same price as air fills. That's progress. I hate the big nitrox stickers. I removed them from my tanks this year. The shop I get fills at places an appropriate content sticker on the tank after every fill.
