Is it worth getting certified for nitrox ? I won a free e-learning course from SSI.

I do have circulation issues from type-2, which I have reversed. Nitrox seems the way to go. Thanks.

For free, why not?
It’s a skill you’ll have should the need arise.
maybe it’s all in my mind but I feel better diving nitrox, well enough that its worth the extra money to me.

Most definitely, go for it!

Most definitely.

Personally, I rarely use air, limit usage to short >30 ft dives, 1/2 to 3/4ths of my tanks left filled with 32%, making them usable for about any dive where Nitrox is appropriate. As far as extra cost, consider what other expenses are connected to diving and it makes it not very relevant.

When you do this you don’t know who is giving advice or how good it is :( LatitudeAdjustment

That’s not always helpful either.

I personally do dive with and have no problems with divers who have opinions I disagree with and whose advice I’d never use. Of course, there are different levels of diving, the more difficult, the more I require like minded divers. Call that "elitist" if you like, but I figure it’s my right to be selective, and seriously, I’m not here for advice, I’m here to socialize a little, I seek serious advice only from those I know are very qualified to give it.
