user manual: not typically nitrox
The fact that a pSCR is typically driven using nitrox is just flat wrong. A
pSCR can be considered as universal gas extender for any depth, so any driving gas.

A diver using a single cylinder of breathing gas can therefore dive for much longer periods than using a recreational open-circuit configuration.
