Mixing is not the hard part, diving your mix is. Once again I can see from
this post that you  have aways to go. There is no "sissy" or "high-test"
mixture, there is only the correct mixture(s) for a particular dive. In
certain situations breathing 32% can kill you just as dead as 100%. Don't be
in such a hurry to be a macho tech diver, there's nothing down there worth
dying for.
