Well, I didn't really expect the thread to blow up like that! But I learned a lot from it and want to thank you all for giving your opinions. I'm going take the course and start diving nitrox. I really want to learn as much as I can about diving. So again, Thank you all.
I would also strongly recommend the online Ratio Deco class from UTD Diving and the Deco for Divers book. Both explain a lot of the theories behind decompression. I am taking Ratio Deco right now, and so far it has blown my mind twice in the first two and a half chapters (not that you care, but its explanation of why the surface tension of bubbles drives stop depths and why the ratio of bubble volume to diameter drives exponential deco shapes are both wonderful).
Anyhow, each discusses the mechanics of breathing Nitrox as well as off-gassing with Nitrox, and both go far beyond the text I read as part of my NAUI certification.
