kind of like the AOW card.... you never know when the requirement for it will rear its ugly head....
FWIW - take the class. If in fact you know it all, you can help one of the others that may not get it....

What I would make of it is that he pumps his own.
no i don't.
just the places i get most of my fills know me as a diver (local shop and an inland site i frequent when i can't get into the sea) and it's not that i don't have any nitrox training, just don't have a card (still have a provisional in fundies and haven't quite finished my sports diver with my club)
You're doing the wrong two dives, then.

We're talking about diving, right? $100 for ANYTHING rounds off to "free" really.

Most dive shops I encountered routinely offered air, you have to special order EANx for yourself and for your buddy/guide. I agree, for aggressive profiles, you need nitrox, otherwise you easily end up in deco territory in the 2nd or 3rd dive.
As for the card: nitrox training & card can be get as cheap as 80-100$, does it really matter? Anyway: I am 100% sure, a shop, that special orders EANx for you, will ask for your card. At "easier places", where nitrox is routinely used, it might be overseen, but they still have liabilities in case you get oxtox...
