Bob,

What's the prerequisite in shingles needed to get into it? Usually needed is
the advanced nitrox, decompression techniques, and then the "entry level
trimix" course at least. All this for being able to dive with a clear head
between 70 and 150'. Scott's point all along is there needs to be a "rec"
HOTx course with something like a nitrox C-card pre-req to open up He to
more people without having to go through 4 extra courses (not to mention
about $2000 or more) just to dive HOTx which is by definition relatively
shallow (less logistics) diving.

Don

    Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.  I'm sure I've mentioned the 
NAUI Helitrox program more than once on rec.scuba.wasteland ;-)

>I have been turning people on to HOTx for 6 months

    You sure didn't miss the terminology I coinded a year or two ago and 
frequently use to describe it (i.e. HOTx - High Oxygen Trimix), hard to 
imagine you missed the parts about the NAUI program.

>Got any links? I would like to see the curriculum.

    For starters you might try:

www.trimixdiver.com
