Funny old crowd, the BSAC. They seem to have a love hate relationship with technical diving. There's advocates of deep-air and trimix at all levels, and quite a lot that don't seem to know the difference. Yet BSAC officially doesn't approve either. Just look at Diver, their magazine, which often has articles on trimix dives and recently one about a trip (with 2 top BSAC people) to the Andrea Doria (80m max) which, I understand, was done on air. > >>I hope so too.
