   " We need to have more clearly defined industry standards regarding equipment
servicing and gas blending, or someone else will do it for us."

        Mark, what we need is for dive "professionals" to quit
        pretending that there is some magic to gas "blending" 
        or that some set of cleaning rules will protect people
        from accidents. This is the kind of officious weenery
        that has always plagued diving. 

        What will get us regulated is the teaching and promoting
        of deep air diving, diving high PPO2's, and the dive 
        industry (at lest South Florida) penchant for shoving
        prospective students through dive courses as fast as they
        can, holding out the "goal" of higher certification , like
        the great "cave diving" merrit badge, or the gas courses.
