Diving with non-air gas mixtures: Nitrox, Heliox, Trimix what is nitrox? Nitrox is a gas mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, but with a higher oxygen percentage than found in ordinary air. As a result of its higher oxygen concentration, the percentage of nitrogen in nitrox is always lower than in air. There are two standard mixtures of Nitrox recognized by NOAA for diving: Nitrox I and Nitrox II (see Table 1).
