Thought I'd pass this on for anyone interested in learning a bit more. Salty Endeavors (an SSI shop in Cozumel) is offering a free SSI Science of Diving specialty right now as well as discounts on some of their other online specialties.

Very nice. I think that I will also take the Nitrox for 50 USD...
I am a *** CMAS instructor, and I am certified also for CC rebreathers, but never got a card for Nitrox...

Might as well. I exchanged a few emails with Henry at Salty Endeavors. Seems like a nice guy. I might take one of his other ones just to throw a bone his way for offering this. Even if SSI is covering the expenses (who knows if they are or not), he's gotta be working like crazy fielding all the online inquiries and getting everyone set up.
But it's only good for 32% nitrox.
Nitrox card without a hands-on class? Really bad idea.
I've told this story before, but it is worth repeating. I was waiting to use the analyzer at Buddy Dive some years ago. A fellow and his wife were there when I arrived, and he was just unhooking the yoke from his tank valve. (The yoke had a hose to a flow restrictor then to an analyzer, the kind with a knob to allow you to calibrate it.) He hooked up the yoke to his wife's tank, turned on the gas, turned to her and asked, "What percentage do you want?" She responded, "Well, we've been diving 32% but I'd like to try 36% for a change." He said, "Okay" and turned the calibration knob until it said 36%. They unhooked and walked away.

How do we contact them?
