What Gases Do SCUBA Divers Breathe? From Air To Trimix, Hydreliox & Beyond

"Ever wondered what divers breathe underwater, and why it’s not just oxygen?" #divingexplained #divinggasmixtures #deepdiving In this episode of Scuba Science, we dive into the world of scuba breathing gases. Please visit my website to get more information: http://www.divesaga.com/ From standard compressed air used in recreational diving to advanced gas blends like Nitrox, Trimix, Heliox, Hydrox, and even Hydreliox, this video explains why different mixes are essential at various depths. We break down how gases like nitrogen, oxygen, helium, and hydrogen are used to manage risks like narcosis, oxygen toxicity, and high-pressure nervous syndrome. You’ll learn what each gas blend is used for, the benefits and limitations of each, and how they help divers reach greater depths safely. Whether you're a beginner wondering about Nitrox or a tech diver exploring Trimix options, this episode has something for everyone.
