Summary
To dive to great depths underwater, divers use a variety of gases including compressed air, nitrox, Heliox, and Trimix, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. While Heliox provides the ability to stay down longer, the downside is that body heat is lost six times faster, and Trimix is used for the deepest dives due to its composition of oxygen, nitrogen, and helium.
