Back in the mid 90's Don't dive the devil's gas, e.g. Nitrox

Tri-mix for a 100' dive.
Doubles for NDL.
Side mount for back injuries.
Wearing a knife on your leg.
Split fins in current.

you didnt need to add "in current" after "Split fins".
And why is Tri-mix in a 100' "bad advice"? If helium was the same price as O2, I'd be using that sh*t on beach dives!!!
I dive a rebreather so trimix on every dive is normal.

Use your dry suit for buoyancy control. Use your wing only to inflate at surface. Thanks NOAA dry suit dive manual!

I guess that’s why Dry Suit Diving is a separate specialty course. Where a regular OW course concentrates on buoyancy control using BCD or Wing, the WS is a whole other element. If this were 40-50 years or so ago, we could also learn hard hat techniques in a rubberized canvas suit with lead boots.
Not all agree about using only the drysuit for buoyancy control.
And 40-50 years ago we did not learn in a hard hat and lead boots....that was for military/commercial divers only.

Didn’t yours see my tongue firmly in my left cheek? 
Fifty years ago I was learning DH and new dangled SH diving in the Wake Forest pool. I thought that part about doing all one’s buoyancy control with a dry suit sounded kinda sketchy, but you’ve gotta admit that dry suit diving involves a whole other level of training!
