In all honesty...no. I always have, and always will plan for the deepest part of the wreck.... Have > you ever made a Gulfstream drift dive to 100' in 3500' of water? No...blue water stuff is not much to my liking, but you never know I could change my mind. I lived in Okinawa, Japan when I was in the 'Corps and did more 500' + walls then I could ever remember, but I was always on air...Nitrox was like Buck Rogers lasers guns...not imaginable (how things change!) I guess you > rule out these practices. Your attitude and views are hypocritical. How so...I practice what I preach. I set my PO2 to 1.4 for the working portion of the dive and 1.6 for my deco. Even on my reacreational dives, which FAR outnumber my tech dives, I always stick the 1.4...you taught me that in my IANTD Instructor course... :-) Me being hypocritical would require me to do something I tell others not to do. You can ask ANY of my students...1.4 is the limit. Period. > As a tech diver you may use the mix you feel adequate for the mission.

Better be good or you're gonna need lots of help. > Jim Still going strong after all these years...so I guess I'm doing something right. BTW I was the one who found your grappel on the RSB-1...that's gotta be worth a beer or two!! Sean -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
