I had well over 5,000 dives before I became an instructor. Most of them on air to over
200 feet.
Most of the divers doing the mixes are caves divers doing nothing but going down and coming up...What fun!!
I like Nitrox when I am diving West Palm for Lobster like I will be in July.
We are around a 100 feet and use a light mixture which helps since I do 5 dives the opening day starting at midnight.
Hal Watts who has more mixed dives and knows mores about mixes then almost anyone and also holds the record for air which is at 450 feet told me he Likes air best!! Why ..? He can always come up!!
Spear fishing in the middle grounds I do between 3 - 5 dives a day to 110 to maybe 150 or 160 feet or more. The point being I never know how deep my next dive is going to be.
With air if I want to hit one of my wrecks in 200 feet NO PROBLEM..
Try that with EAN 36 L.O.L.
I along with hundreds of my spearfishing friends have Hundreds of deep dives in the Gulf. We do 3-5 dives a day for 3=4 days straight. It take us 8-12 hours to get out there and we stay 3-4 days. We dive all day and fish all night.
Almost every dive is a deco dive with the last ones being deco's starting at 40 feet.
I can do anything with air... NOT so with a mix.... VERY limited...your hands are so tied.
99 percent of the people writing on this board do NOT have enough experience to know this.. They are "paper" trained like most dive Instructors are... They ONLY know what they read.
Air is sooo much safer..
