Tom
    Is this the case? - I cannot recall anywhere I have been from Egypt
to the Indian Ocean to USA where this is the advisory limit.

This has nothing to do with credibility. Firstly the majority of folks
who do this type of diving on air consider themselves pretty good
(mistake number 1) secondly there is no way that these people are going
to pay you or I for the privaledge of doing a bunch of courses up to mix
to do what they feel they are already OK doing (second mistake).

Tom, we will always have this rolling stock of people that are beyond
help - you cannot educate pork!. If the route to mix diving is kept
simple,logical and justifiable let nature take it's course with the also
ran's.
