Subject: Nitrox...Cutting through the BS


     Okay, I know there is a huge amount of hype over "Oxygen clean and
compatible."  I knwo that if you are getting partial-pressure blends, it is
a good idea to have your tanks O2 serviced.  My question now is about
regulators.  For EAN that is 40% or less, what should I REALLY be doing?
Do I need new o-rings in all of my lines?  Do my 1st and 2nd stage need to
be serviced?  
     I seem to get a different answer from everyone I talk to, ranging from 

"Our equipment should never be used with EAN, best get our new green-body,
dedicated Nitrox regulator that is good up to 21% Oxygen" 

to 

"I use whatever regulator I want for my 100% O2."  

For basic Nitrox work, what should I do?  I was looking to buy a new reg
soon, either a Sherwood Oasis or one of the Scubapro G-series.  Are either
of these going to be a problem?  Thanks,



John Norman
