My views on the universal use of Nitrox comes from close involvement in
IANTD along with discussions with the HSE and medical people, in particular Dr
Maurice Cross from DDRC.
The bottom line is that the HSE are at present re-writing the regulations and
will allow the use of Nitrox inshore. This has come from comparisons made
between the number of DCI hits offshore (where Nitrox is used) compared to the
number of inshore DCI hits (where Nitrox is not currently used). The hard facts
speak for themselves. Maurice Cross delights in lecturing about disecting divers
and reporting on tissue/nerve damage + degradation due to bubble formation of
varying degrees. If he says that the use of Nitrox is THE BIGGEST THING TO
BENEFIT DIVING SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF OXYGEN ADMINISTRATION then that is fine
by me.
Best regards

P.S
I am perhaps being cynical in my 're-invent the wheel' comment. Historically the
BSAC have over the years been anti - stab jackets,dive computers and oxygen
administration. Now they claim to be the driving force behind their introduction
and education. I somehow feel a case of deja-vue!.
PPS
As regards Tech-Talk - watch this space!. Anybody else out there thing a
tech-diving information type magazine (other that Aquacorps guys!). would have a
place?
