Dear Julian,

You are mis-informed at best. The article you refer to can
be found at http://www.nwdesigns.com/rebreathers/DeepCave.htm .

The WKPP web site merely points to this article with a html link.

The nwdesigns site is also interested in "Doing it Right" and has
since altered their article to state:

"The divers used air down to
approximately 190 ft where they switched to the the bottom mix.
(This is no longer the case, for safety. WKPP divers use air only
above 130ft. TriMix is now used below 130ft.) The Halcyon has
quick connect fittings which allow the divers to connect different gas
mixes while under water."

As the current WKPP webmaster I appreciate you bringing this
point to my attention.

Jeff Bentley

(Out of curiosity... Why did you post this to the internet
vs. contacting me or the WKPP directly? Now you appear to
be an uninformed whiner...)
