Tony,

That's good news. Especially with some of the wilderness diving we do, we
are often in situations where we do not have the normal backup, but usually
have at least rich nitrox mixes with us (i.e. whilst diving, and pure o2 on
the boat), so learning this technique would be valuable.

Looks like the RFA course is the way to go.

(Esat, sorry for doubting you!)

Best Regards,

JT
