    My AN/DP/Helitrox course

    Close to 100% nitrogen in an old tank?

    I am sorry to hear this. It's a pity to have such accidents. I have a rule that I follow when I mix for someone and when I dive my own mix or the mix someone is offering me. Always check twice: the blender checks and marks and the diver checks and marks. I can't figure out any possible way...

    Refresher course

    Certifications are good for ever! Refresher is in any case recommended. Some resorts might require a check dive. Better is that you contact directly the resort before hand.
