It was I who posted that, and it was an error.

We get T's for $42.

That's still $.14 a foot. Not $.65 to $.75 a foot which is what the local
"types" sell it for.

When mixing 25/35, I drop in the He, and continuous blend  in on top of it,
this way I can drain the O2 bottles, and cascading the He, I can get the He
down to 150 psi or so before we return them.

The issue stands, in that we need to make triox available to advanced
recreational divers.

As Trey put it, the difference between black and white and color. This is
another case of the divers voting with their wallets. Instead of allowing
the RSTC to decide what we can handle, we need to let them know what kind of
courses we are willing to spend money on.
