I just saw the show about the Rod's discovery of the wreck of the USS Tarpon being a breeding ground for sand tiger sharks on the Discovery Channel again. I never tire of that show, no matter how many times they repeat it. I have heard similar statements by other pioneers in the U.S. East Coast wreck diving community. My recollection of Gary Gentile's statements in his wreck diving course is that he said that you could do it, but you need to overhaul the regulators much more frequently than with air, since the O-rings degrade faster. I got the impression that he used to do it before O2 cleaning was established, but that now he would usually use O2 compatible and cleaned equipment. Safe Diving Wrolf P.S. Yes, Jeremy Isaac Courtney Majerovitz, 6 months, watched the show with me - he loved it! Another scuba diver in the making O-)
