It's obvious to everyone by now that you have a personal vendetta against ANDI, Island, et al. You seem to stop at nothing, including the truth, in your ever present desire to malign ANDI. Of course *Island Scuba* does partial pressure fills. When our customer comes in with 800psi of 32% and wants 3000psi of 36%, yes, we do a partial pressure fill. Just turn to page 44 of ANDI's current gas blender manual and read "The Formula for Partial Pressure Blending" to learn how to do it yourself. Do you not learn from your past mistakes? Again you confuse ANDI HQ with Island Scuba Centers in an attempt to mislead. ANDI does not have a fill station and does not employ technicians. It simply shares office space in the same building with Island. There is nothing wrong with blending by partial pressure. ANDI teaches it and we certify gas blenders to do it. What ANDI does *not* advocate is using 100% oxygen through a scuba valve into the scuba cylinder. We follow cylinder and valve manufacturer and supplier guidelines and limit the fO2 to 50%. Use your common sense. Would an organization scrutinized as much as we are, teach one thing then practice another? Don't you think we know Island has ex-employees that go to work elsewhere? Don't you think we know we are under the microscope of those a whole lot sharper than the likes of you and GasDiver? Grow up. If you want to boost your ego, do something positive for the industry. ______________________________ Stuart Masch, Chief Operating Officer American Nitrox Divers International P.S. The Ceramatec analyzer is an excellent move for you. It's got a higher reliability in operation, no dangling wires or connectors, includes a splash proof vinyl case, long life sensor with an estimated life expectancy of 3 to 5 years in most applications, (you can save over $225 on sensor replacements), and it comes with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty, --including-- the sensor. But what do I know?
