Troppo,
        Is there any truth to the rumor about a trimix instructor trainer
returning to the USA (from NSW) before the certification dives were done,
yet the students/instructors were still certified after doing the dives on
their own. It must really be handy owning a franchise.  If that's how the
Australian trimix divers were trained it would certainly explain the 'Body
Count'.  How many trimix divers/instructors they have lost now in NSW and
why does the dead divers recovered gear always turn up later, with empty
cylinders! I think they should rename the team to the "D"ead team.
Hopefully it won't just be the recreational agency franchise owner that
loses their franchise this year. 

Paul
