As an interesting aside, I was diving in Malta last November and tried to
get Nitrox.  The scuba centre told me that Nitrox was illegal there and
chamber staff would refuse to treat anyone who had used nitrox - apparently
they believe that use of nitrox totally messes up O2 recompression therapy.
 This is despite many representations made by the dive industry there and
published papers proving this to be false. 
 
It seems that there is still a lot of myth/rumour surrounding nitrox!
