To all the dickheads who keep quoting me as suggesting using nitrox below 40 metres, please read the message more carefully before you start lecturing me about the subject. The aim of my message was to say we should be promoting gases other than air as an safer alternative. I stated "including" nitrox, I did not fucking say go out and dive to 60 fucking metres on nitrox. If nitrox is so bad then why does ALL the agencies insist on nitrox cert prior to trimix? dont give me all this about it being a starting point ( YES I KNOW IT IS ) if it is a backward step from air then its a bad starting point. And as for Jim Cobb saying "the gases contribute nothing to the safety" well thats a real dickhead statement, a real stroke statement and you can argue that one as much as you like. So as a summary, here are the key points - 1. Nitrox is an improvement on air to 40 metres (35 realistically) 2. Trimix is the ultimate goal but question use of trimix above 30 metres 3. Using "extreme" examples such as Rob Palmer going for a world record deep air dive is bullshit, its like using the death of a driver in an indy car race as an argument against driving too fast. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
