Jason,

I agree with Richard Taylor.  NONE of our group has been bent on Trimix so far. 
 If you are having a 2% - 10% hit rate, then its time you re-examined your dive 
planning and decompression protocols.  You are obviously doing something WRONG!

Your unacceptable hit rate may lead to further NSW Governmenrt intervention in 
mix diving.  The NSW Occuptaional Health and Safety Act 1983 was amended in 
June this year to close the loophole so that recreational divers under certain 
circumstances are subject to the Act.  These circumstances include any 
situation that involves a workplace eg.  dive stores supplying mix, instructors 
teaching mix programs and may even extend to charter boats.

WorkCover NSW are desperately trying to justify their mix stance from October 
1991 to March 1994 as they are under investigation by the NSW Ombudsman.   You 
are giving them exactly the justification they need!

Please sort out your problems before your unacceptable hit rate stops ALL of us 
from diving mix in NSW (and maybe elsewhere in Australia and NZ)
