Nitrox Dive Computer
I need a useful, cheap used dive computer (o2/EAN) to use while I finish my certs. Which are my best bets?
I'm not hurting for money so much as I want to wait until I know more about the diving I will be doing before I put down a thousand dollars or more on a dive computer. I just need a reliable machine that will help me log my dives and keep me informed underwater while I finish up my dive master and instructor certifications. I'm certified EAN so I'd like a computer that handles air and Nitrox. I'm looking for the best bang for my buck in a cheap, easy to use second hand model. Thanks to all who reply!!
If you are going for your dive master cert then you should know this already. But I will say it again and first off the bat. Have all used equipment checked and serviced by a qualified dealer.
Do keep in mind that a computer can be, is considered life support. If your computer goes blank, you can still breathe. But you no longer know how much air you have left, your depth, etc., unless you have a back up on your tank.
I would suggest that you visit Scubadiving do com and check out their gear reviews. Even join the forum, plenty of great people there. Both of these resources will help you to determine what you want. Once you decide, then check with the local dive shops in your area (they usually have reliable used gear). Next, take a look at Leisurepro dot com and eBay.
Leisurepro backs up what they sell, so you are less likely to get junk.
eBay is a buyer beware type of thing. I have gotten plenty of good gear from eBay. And I have gotten burned too. If you use eBay, then do a little checking, email the seller and find out if they are willing to refund if the item is not serviceable, things like that.
Good luck.

Nitrox Dive
why must you get certified to scuba dive using nitrox air?
Different gas, different rules. The tables you used for your open water are based on dives using air. There's a different set of tables to use for nitrox and there are issues such as partial pressures of oxygen to deal with. Even staying within recreational dive limits depth wise you can suffer what's called an O2 tox hit if you're diving a nitrox mix that's not rated to exceed that particular depth. Poisoned by oxygen. Lights out. There's also a material compatibility regarding your equipment and that higher O2 mix. Oxygen is after all, an oxidant. Mix it in higher concentrations with a hydro carbon and you have a fire hazard.
Nitrox can be a great tool but it can have it's pitfalls depending on the dive profile. It can extend your bottom time but it can also limit your depth, depending on the mix. It's a great gas to deco off of, since it cleans you up faster than air normally would and can substantially reduce your surface intervals on a multi dive profile but you have to treat it with a degree of respect.

The scuba regulator set more than conveys breathing gas to the diver in the conduct of a scuba diving expedition. The article will discuss the basic functionalities of scuba regulators and illustrate how this specialized open circuit scuba apparatus works.
The scuba regulator set more than conveys breathing gas to the diver in the conduct of a scuba diving expedition. Also called a pressure regulator, the device converts high pressure Air or Nitrox gas mixtures compressed in the cylinder tank into usable, moderated pressure that is comparable to atmospheric levels. Breathing directly from the tank will prove to be injurious to the diver and may even rupture his lungs. Let us look into the basic functionalities of scuba regulators and see how this specialized open circuit scuba apparatus works.
The pressure regulator is composed of 3 main components, namely the first stage, second stage and the alternate second stage. All 3 components are outfitted with mechanical devices performing interrelated functions to reduce the blatant pressure of compressed air and convey breathable air to the diver at the least inhalation effort possible with the regulator's design and expended maintenance on the part of the user.
First Stage. The valves of the diving cylinder connects directly to the First Stage. As the direct recipient of high pressure air from the tank, the first stage initially reduces this level of pressure to intermediate pressure from which air flows through high pressure hoses towards different attachments, particularly the second stage, the buoyancy compensator and pressure gauge.
Second Stage. Also called the primary regulator, the second stage converts intermediate pressure to ambient pressure or water pressure that comes in contact with the moving parts or the chamber of the second stage. Ambient pressure flows through the mouthpiece of the second stage at the demand of the diver. That is why the second stage is also called a demand valve. It also comes outfitted with a purge button to allow the diver to release water from the regulator which is often designed with sensitivity adjustments or an adjustment knob to fine tune breathing effort.
Octopus Regulator. This component is also referred to the as the alternate second stage regulator which comes in handy during diving emergencies such as the malfunction of the primary regulator causing it to free flow or in case your buddy runs out of air during your dive. The octopus regulator connects to the first stage, typically sporting a longer hose to make it easy to pass around. Moreover, the device is designed with a yellow or orange purge cover to allow easy identification underwater.
Now you won't be looking anymore at scuba regulators as mere scuba equipment [http://www.scubasuppliers.com] outfitted with high pressure hoses that connect to specialized conveyors but as a fundamental life support underwater.
