Old Skin Diver Article

[parrotheaddiver]

Would anyone happen to have a copy (or know where to get one) of the
March 1992 editorial in Skin Diver Magazine by Bill Gleason called Nitrox
Diving and Recreational Diving? That is the one where Skin Diver and PADI
bashed nitrox as being "snake oil".

I cannot seem to find it ANYWHERE on the internet. Skin Diver has some
of their previous articles on their web site, but have conviniently left
this one out.


Just trying to help someone out with this question.
thanks

Contact the biggest public library you have access to............they should be able to find a copy. I haven't done it in ages, (okay 2 decades) but there is a reference manual for locating them. Reference librarian should be able to help if no one here has it. (and if they do, I'm a little worried about the fire hazard!)

Here's one link about it. It's not the article itself though. http://www.cisatlantic.com/trimix/aquacorps/mix/MixTimeline.htm

More info. http://www.saa.org.uk/index/nitrox/Nitrox out of closet.htm

Not exactly the article, but they may help.

You mean its not????

:lol:

here are some references to the probable source of the skin diver articles:

Shreeves, Karl Mixtures Mother Nature Never Intended 4Q92, page 11
Shreeves, Karl Nitrox is NOT Safer Than Air 4Q92, page 13

I am sure if you email Karl, he would be delighted to supply you with copies..

I will PM you his Email as long as you promise never to mention my name in connection with this...
