Dear List,
 I would like to clear any misconception before they start.  The IANTD
Adv. Nitrox Diver program is NOT a technical program and certainly is
not taught to depths of 57 meters(more like a 39 meters max). Sufficient
training should be a minimum of Intermediate Trimix and 200 logged dives
really is'nt shit even though some divers are qualified to dive in this
range. 
 Accidents of this nature don't belong on this list.  Technical diving
accidents do!  Please don't confuse the two.
