Subject: Re: How many trimix divers?
The IANTD journal lists its' cert. numbers quarterly and if I remember
correctly,
the last time I looked it was around 1300 or so. That is just IANTD certified
divers. And as far as "active" goes, (depending on what one considers
active???),
I'm sure there are ALOT less! In my oppinion, to be "active" in Tri-Mix diving,
let alone competant at it, one should  be diving weekly! I do! Jeff
