Nitrox cert by correspondence or online?

[kidspot]

Yes, its done on land. But the question was if it can be done over the internet. IMHO unless you have done gas analisis in the past there is no way you can learn to do it over the internet and feel confident with the results.

I'd beg to differ - I taught myself to analyze gas after I built my O2 analyzer - all on internet instructions. I verified by sampling 100% O2. I get more consistent results than my lds does on their analyzer... So how much more confident do I need to be?

Looks like I'll be getting my nitrox cert in January (an instructor friend from SB offered it at a great price... so why not), Of course I'll be blending and analyzing my own gas for the class

If I learn that I've been recklessly endagering myself through this class then I'll certainly post to that effect here on SB, but I don't anticipate that at this point

Aloha, Tim

kidspot, where did you find instructions to build an O2 analyzer?

This will be a perfect weeknight project while I'm grounded. Thanks!
