Subject: Re: Trimix question
Jim,

Can you recommend a "universal mix" for the wide range of depths in which I
do my trimix dives, 130 - 280FFW?  I am interested in how this "universal
mix" can save me money over custom mixing for the specific depth of a dive.
 I would like to hear this from some one with your experience and knowledge
on the topic.  You  must be much more informed than the rest of us, what
with your trimix page and all.  I don't have a trimix page.
