I have not been able to find in the IANTD materials statements regarding
how the depths of repetitive dives should be ordered when nitrox is used
on one or more of the dives.  At the recreational level, we teach that
the deepest dive is made first, and each successive dive is to a depth
less than or equal to the preceeding dive.

I was taught that deep first still applies

also 
On a similar topic I was taught that when mixing Air and Nitrox dives on the
same day - the recomendation was to do the Air dive first - Any body else got a
view ??
*** End Insert ***

Yes that is what I was taught and how I can only dive as the first dive may
be to deep for nitrox as a bottom mix, and since i live in UK air is only
option.

I have to go down to the sea again, to the call of the running tide
Tis a wild call but a clear call,  that cannot be denied.
