minus-square@svc@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglish30•1 year agoI need supplemental oxygen at less than 1 fathom under water, if I stay there long enough…
minus-square@raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish13•1 year agoI highly recommend using compressed air over oxygen. Nitrox 100 (pure oxygen) becomes toxic below 5 meters… 1.6 bars partial pressure Oxygen is considered unsafe / hazardous.
