What FO2 does EAN 32 contain? - 68 percent nitrogen and 32 percent oxygen
What are two reasons why EAN32 is a good choice for Nitrox diving? - Will provide you with a good
combination of extended bottom time and unrestricted depth within the sport diving range, &. using
EAN32 poses less risk in terms of exposure to oxygen than other richer mixtures.
What is the maximum partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) we use in Nitrox diving? - 1.6
What does the term oxygen toxicity mean? - condition that occurs when the diver breathes a mixture of
gas that allows the PO2 to exceed 1.6 by going too deep or exceeding the time limit at a lower PO2
What is the primary risk associated with Nitrox diving? - Oxygen poisoning
What are the words represented by the acronym CONVENTID? - Con - convulsions, V - visual
disturbances,E - ringing/auditory hallucinations, N - nausea, T - twitching, I - irritability/apprehension, D -

13 cm/4-5 in in width, that is designed to completely encircle the diameter of the tank. The tape is
usually printed in yellow with bold green letters with the words Enriched Air and/or Nitrox printed
continuously on it. This tape makes it quick and easy to spot a Nitrox bottle in a group of tanks.
What are the two most important pieces of information that will appear on a Nitrox fill tag or label? -
Nitrox mixture used in the tank (FO2) and its MOD
What is the most important setting that must be made to your Nitrox computer before every dive? -
oxygen % (FO2) must be set
