> Have you ever thought about water temperatures of 4°C (39F)?

Hey- we dive in 2-3 C water all year around. Ever heard of argon ?


That's not the point.


> Have ever thought about prices of Helium in Europe?
If you can't afford to do it right - don't bother doing it at all.


Congratulations! We must be a very poor country in Germany if all your
divers in
Finnland can afford Trimix fills. You might get your Helium cheap from your
Russian buddies for peanuts. In Germany we have to pay around USD 250.-- for
10,000 Litres of Helium.


> Have you ever thought about common diving practices in Central Europe?

Frankly, most of it is bullshit, with full-face masks and pair-lines.


If you have never been in Central Europe for Diving you better don't comment
on this.

Yours
