I realize its kind of hard to come up with the extra cash what with 
$1K+ dry suits, scooters, regs, bottles, and travel to pay for BUT...

to paraphrase someone else:  "diving isn't worth dieing for..."

Since I don't have a PFO I can do my trimix cert with one less thing to
worry about.  If the test had come up positive, I personally would have
stuck to no-deco diving, and even backed off the times and ascent rates
for that.

Later,
