To quote our esteemed Vice President, Al "The Tree" Gore, "There is no controlling authority." So all you have to do is find someone with a computer and laserprinter and whip out a card declaring yourself a trimix diver. There's no law against doing this. And whats good enough for the Vice President of the United States of America is good enough for me. Now if I can just get Hillary and my wife together.... Make sure you laminate your new card, this impresses the dive store monkeys. Also get your self a copy of the oxy-hackers handbook, it will explain all and also invoke a bit of fear in you, which is good when you are doing this sort of thing.
