Couple of questions:

1) Why the use of Argon gas for inflation? Here is South Africa both He =
and Ar are imported, and very expensive. Can another gas be substituted =
eg Nitrogen? Of that we have lots for free from the Oxygen suppliers. =
And  there is a mixture with about 80% Nitrogen also available at a very =
competitive price.

2) Is it acceptable to dive with redundant bladder instead of a dry =
suit? What size/ lift will this bladder be, and should it then be =
connected to the power inflator or orally inflated?

3) What possible way is there to get GUE training done either here, or =
to get trained in US and then bring the training system to RSA.? Is =
IANTD a good equivalent training agency?  We have an excellent IANTD =
instrustor here in SA.

Thank you
Albert Saunders
