Check out the lower half of page 95 of the October 2000 issue of Rodale's
"SCUBA Diving".

This is "An RSD Dive Expedition", to Truk Lagoon, aboard the "Odyssey". 
Special features of the trip include "Free training and supervision in
extended-range diving and decompression techniques (if desired) from Bret
Gilliam, president of Technical Diving International".

Later in the pitch they say they are offering double tanks with dual-valve
isolation manifolds.  I guess that's an improvement.  When they had Mitch
Skaggs doing it, they were using independent doubles.

Notably absent from the ad is any mention whatsoever of trimix.  They also
don't say what deco mixes are available.  Previously, they have used 80/20.

And, if that wasn't enough, and by golly don't you think it ought to be, on
page 6, in the masthead for the magazine, we find: "Technical Diving
Editor: Bret Gilliam".
