Joel: Sorry to disappoint but Larry Elsivier is not the only dude in Washington pumping. There are a number of us doing it right. I, for example, pump Nitrox (continuous blending), Partial Pressure Deco Fills to 80/100%, Argon and Trimix (probably more trimix than anyone else in the (US) Pacific Northwest) using a Rix system (no booster yet but lots of helium and O2 in the banks). I'm not NAUI/ANDI but IANTD trained (through Blender IT). Maybe that's why you didn't recognize another viable alternative. Other folks in town also pump including Steve Pearson and Fifth Dimension and Silent World. We may not be South Florida but Nitrox/Mixed Gas diving is alive and growing in the Northwest. Come visit us any time for some nice Grade J air Garrett Weinberg Joel Silverstein wrote: > Kevin, now I know the reason I cant get a fill in LA <g> > > In all the years that enriched air has been on the market for recreatioanl > divers, California has been the slowest to pick up on it.
