With respect to Jane.

I think everybody will agree that this instructor made some serious

errors of judgment which resulted in the tragic loss of this diver. But

would'nt you agree that to be a Trimix student you MUST be an

EXPERIENCED diver to get on the course. A diver who has been on nitrox

courses and biult up the relative experience to do a trimix course

should know that it would be crazy to start your training at 90m.



If she wasn't experienced enough to do this course then her more
experienced friends should have advised her against it and, of course,
any instructor worth his salt wouldn't have taken her on.

To make things clear, no way am I defending this instructor.
