Hi Todd,

I guess I must have lost the bubble, but I thought that most of the larger 
technical diving agencies have recognized the hesitancy of many people to do 
deep air dives.  (And I suspect that the WKPP project can take credit for 
having had a lot to do with this.)  Accordingly, these agencies no longer 
require deep air certification as a prerequisite to studying trimix diving; 
either by eliminating the requirement outright or by leaving it to the 
discretion of the instructor.  If you have any contradictory information, I 
would appreciate your bringing it to my attention.

I imagine that given the number of people on this list, their average trimix 
diving experience, and the number of years that trimix diving certifications 
have been available, I find it difficult to accept this statement as valid.

Take care and safe diving,      Scott
