Alright! For everyone wanting to know the results of the last
Techdiver Survey, here goes.. We had a total of 53 respondants
this time, so as the months pass, we get a smoother representation
of the group of divers on the forum.

Experience is VERY hard to judge, or to report on :-).

Do you fill yourself or Purchase Fills at a dive store or other air
station? A very confusing question....I really wanted to see how many
people were filling their own tanks for NITROX and MIX, but I didn't
specify so I got a LOT bigger list than I figured on. This is who
fills everything, including air.
Self === 11
Dive Store == 31
Both == 8
Hope you find it an entertaining survey, now let's get back in the
water and get some more diving done!
