Billy -

I can't even get trimix fills in *Miami* -- even though IANTD's world 
headquarters is in this town!*  The closest location is Brownies in Ft. 
Lauderdale, where I usually dive.  One weekend, mix wasn't available at 
Brownies, so I called IANTD and was told that Tom Mount is the only 
practicing gas mixer in all of Dade County and he doesn't do fills.

There's no question that I could call up a gas supplier and put in a 
cascade (and I'm seriously considering it at this point), but you would 
think that mix would be a little more available in one of the best diving 
locales in the U.S. and home of the (presently) number one tech training 
agency.

Bottom line -- if you're coming to the States to mix dive -- better call 
ahead.  It's not as widely available as you might think unless you're 
prepared to mix it yourself.



Best regards --

Bill
