Commercial and technical divers who go to great depths and perform extended dives are sometimes distinguished for “mixed-gas” diving. This primarily refers to their use of Nitrox as a breathing supply — an oxygen-nitrogen blend with a higher oxygen percentage than what is available in ordinary surface air.

Skilled Investigation of Breathing-Related Commercial Diver Accidents

Gas mixtures known as Nitrox, Trimix and Heliox are considered essential for extending safe dive times and reducing the risk of divers suffering from decompression sickness. Their use adds a level of risk and necessary precautions, however. Proper, controlled mixing and composition monitoring are critical for prevention of:

• Painful, disabling or even fatal decompression sickness
• Oxygen toxicity, for which seizures can be the first symptom and rapid intervention is pivotal

Determining whether your own or a family member’s diving injury resulted from improper gas mixtures, equipment-related problems or any form of employer negligence calls for determined, thorough investigation.
