What are the common names divers use for Nitrox?

Divers commonly refer to Nitrox using several terms, primarily "enriched air" and "oxygen enriched air." These names highlight the primary component—oxygen—replacing some of the nitrogen found in regular air, thereby enriching the air mixture.

"Enriched air" is widely accepted in the diving community as it succinctly describes the higher oxygen content. "Oxygen enriched air" is an alternative that emphasizes the increased percentage of oxygen, which is central to its benefits in diving.

While "SafeAir" may not be as commonly recognized, it has been used to describe Nitrox in specific contexts or promotional materials. However, the inclusion of the term reflects the variety of names that can be used in discussions about Nitrox. Since all these terms relate directly to the composition and characteristics of Nitrox, the collective term "all of the above" accurately encompasses the diverse terminology utilized by divers.
