Subject: Re: certified?? Trimix divers
Dear GDPLEDGER,

 I've got a few questions.  First, why are you hiring trimix divers for
work.  As you should know, a working dive requires specialized training
that of which recreational trimix divers are NOT qualified or trained
for. Second, when did the commercial diving industry start using trimix
and scuba (beyond 100fsw)?  Third, where do you get your facts that all
applicants pay and pass?
