Hi Newbie,

No one will be offended by you checking the mix of your tank. In fact, even if someone tells you they checked it, I would insist on checking it myself.

As far as how to check it, you’ll learn that in your course. It’s simple, and is basically just putting a yolk on the tank that is connected to an oxygen detector.

I am just finishing my Advanced Open Water and am booked to also complete a course in Enriched Air diving. I notice you wrote that you would never dive without personally checking the Enriched Air mixture. Perhaps this question will be answered after I complete the course, but I am wondering, how do I check the mixture? I am always worried about offending people, so is there a way to do this without appearing offensive, especially considering I am new to the sport. Thanks for your response.
