Billy W,
I don't know what your position is on O2 but every ANDI shop I have been
to except for OWHS cringes at the thought of using pure O2.  One shop I
was at recently told me that you could not get 100% O2 filled in
California.  I then told the ANDI instructor about four diferrent stores
you can get 100% O2 with no hassle.   I don't even want to talk about
how much they reamed me for my Poseidon regulator repair.  
Another marketing scheme in my opinion is the selling of 80%Argon 20% O2
instead of 100% Argon.  Once again another way to charge for blending
cost.  The store owner told me that this is to keep people from
breathing pure Argon by mistake.
I don't know about you but the last time I tried to breathe from my
drysuit inflator hose underwater wasn't easy.
Later,
Greg Kuiper
