Subject: Deep Nitrox/Air classes up North?
Hi,

I'm new to this list and haven't had time to read many of 
the posts have been previously posted, but it does look
interesting.  How long has this mail list been together?

What I'm looking for is to find out if there is an
instructor in the upper Michigan area who teaches
Deep Nitrox and Deep Air diving.  I have a few friends
and I who've been diving some of the wrecks in
Lake Superior, and we want to do some deeper dives
next season.  We figured that if we had the card
we may be able to take some of the charters available
up there.  We've been diving nitrox this year, and have
been doing some pretty deep dives, like 150 or so.
We use Aga masks, double 120's or single 120's with
30's as backup.
We figured that if we wanted to do deeper dives we 
would probably be best off with double independent
120's and a 3 way valve so we could dive 26-28% 
nitrox down to maybe 150, and then switch to
air from 150 to bottom.  That would save us some
deco time, right?   We don't want to go 
extreme, but maybe 220-225' or so.  We want to
keep our PO2's below 1.6, and we don't have
the money to get into mixed gas right now.

If you know an instructor that wouldn't mind 
showing us the ropes of deep air and
technical nitrox, could you put me in touch
with them?

Thanks,

Steve
