Wasn't that the Ontario Under Water council?

 

[Britanicdiver]

In 1975 the late Tom McCollum of Tam dive was a young diver working for Supreme divers on King st. Tom along with such persons as Fred Harley began offering air quality testing for dive shops through out Ontario. Fred Harley furthered that by traveling across Canada on behalf of the OUC testing various facilities using Drager tubes and offering an "OUC" Ontario Underwater Council air quality certification.

I believe Bob Peters had something to do with this as well, did he not?

I'm afraid not, Bob has a simple problems even after 39 years in a dive shop understanding how to keep an air compressor running, just look in the basement of his shop and you can see all the compressors he has killed over the years out of neglect, Bob had nothing to do with air testing in his ealry days thank god, but he is a nice old guy ready for retirment.
