Yes, nitrox is an oxidizer. It contains a higher percentage of oxygen than normal air, which can increase the risk of oxygen toxicity if not used properly. Nitrox is commonly used in Scuba diving to extend bottom time and reduce the risk of decompression sickness.

The symbol for nitrox, which is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen used in diving, is typically represented as "EANx" where "x" denotes the percentage of oxygen in the mixture. For example, EAN32 refers to a nitrox blend containing 32% oxygen and 68% nitrogen. In diving contexts, it's important to specify the oxygen percentage for safety and planning purposes.

Can you use a ScubaPro MK16 first stage and a S550 second stage for nitro?

You can use any 1st and 2nd stage combo with nitrox up to %40.Additional commentThe contributor is correct that the scuba industry as a whole considers no modification is needed to a regulator if the nitrox is not greater than 40%. There are some pros and cons to this. However, a titanium regulator is NOT considered nitrox compatible by many. So be careful with that.
