At least from this we know it is legal to dive solo with Nitrox in Cancun....
But probably only as a marine cop. In Cancun the diving is pretty much touristy. Nitrox, as far as I can tell, is a consumer novelty there for which one pays extra bux to have what sounds like the equivalent of a resort course in Nitrox, then don double tanks and do a 90 minute excursion at 40-50'.
Don't get me wrong. I see no harm in it as the hard bottom makes MOD something the divers only hear about, and furthermore, I think the diving in Cancun is great fun because it's very easy and the reefs are quite nice with lotsa pretty fishies. But it's hardly a mecca for tekky divers. The hardcore types aim one hour south and hit the caves. There you are far more likely to encounter Nitrox in everyday use. The relatively shallow caves are a natural for it.
