    Tech Nitrox Intro

    Now I'll be the first to admit that I don't know anything about this, but...and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...but don't you use a deco gas with a high ppO2 (such as 80%) for deco after a dive that you used and bottom gas (Trimix?) with reduced O2 percentage? (I'm not sure I stated that...

    new Halcyon - my impressions

    Your point is well taken, BUT... He was wearing a 3mm shorty in a pool. He's located in Toronto, so will "probably" wear more than a 3mm shorty in the Great Lakes. He'll probably have ditchable weight to offset the wetsuit.:)

    No one has a "right" to read or post on this board. We're allowed to through the good graces of KN and LD. They paid for it. They get to make the rules. If we don't like it, we can pay for and create our own somewhere else. They've put alot of money, time and effort into it and I...

    "Neutral Bouancy" by Tim Ecott. An excellent read! It contains many personal scuba stories, but also an indepth history of man's attraction to the sea and interviews with key people along the way.

    Think outside the box....

    If you sell someone a cup of hot coffee and they spill it in their lap, IT'S YOUR FAULT. Ask McDonald's.

    Insurance is only half the problem. The other half is: LAWYERS trying to get the insurance money.;)

    Should all students be trained on Nitrox?

    Granted. There is a cost difference. The point is to teach the complete Nitrox course as a module of BOW. If you teach nitrox, then they could understand the gas, "ensure an appropriate mix and the tracking of O2 exposure" for themselves. Make them do the very same things in BOW w/Nitrox...

    Should all students be trained on Nitrox?

    JT2: I know what you mean. I'm 200 miles from the coast, but I do all my ocean dives on nitrox. I don't think any of the LDSs here have Nitrox capability.

    Why do computers rot the brain?

    Bob, You make it sound like computers don't round to the conservative side. Granted, Not all computers are create equal. Some are very close to the US Navy tables but other are much more consevative. An example of this occured last Friday. After our first dive of the day, we were comparing...

    Should all students be trained on Nitrox?

    I guess that depends on where you're training and who is doing the training. Here we have 10-12 hours of classroom and 8-10 hours of pool time. Average 4 students per class and charge $335.00 for OW.
