Hey Dude, I'm not an expert or anything, but I'll try to answer
the rest of your questions from my own experiences.
  Also try not to ask so many questions at one time, as this does not leave
a whole lot of room for Nilman, Man.

  Yes it will keep your lungs a lot warmer, the problem is you can
only use this type of mix for dives between  400 to 600 ft.
  Obviously you have not yet been through Padis advanced open water 
 course.;-) 

 Everytime I fill my O2 tank to 6000 psi it explodes and ruins my friend's

 Well this is very simple, I'll bet your tank is not o2 cleaned correctly.
    Check your o rings, are they Viton? Make sure you have the 
    green ones.

   What you need to do here, is to wear goggles under your mask
this should keep them from popping out too far.

 Plutonium weights have not yet been approved by the Nuclear Safety Commission.
 For now, I've got my buddy using them to see what happens.
    I ll keep you posted.

 Hhaa..  This is very complicated stuff Kevin.
   It involves a lot of very sensitive parts of the human anatomy.
 Go through Padi's advanced course first, then we'll talk. ;-)

   Who cares, feelings were meant to be hurt. Just like a lot of 
so called rules were meant to be broken.

   Just because you're sitting at a traffic light that's stuck on red
 at 4 am, with no one coming for miles, doesn't mean you have to 
sit there like a dumb ass, because the rule sees so.
    Hey,, safe diving Dude.  ;-)
