Here's a quote from this October's Rodale's Scuba Diving Magazine in Brett Gilliam's Behind the Lines Column. They are setting up a trip to Truk. "TRUK LAGOON and OUTER REEFS November 12-26, 2000 Sure, Fiji was great. But let's add wrecks to the unexplored reefs. Let's also add the Pacific's newest live-aboard, Odyssey. And since we really, really want to enjoy the world's greatest collection of diveable shipwrecks, let's extend our bottom time with mixed gasses, deco stations, and other technical diving support and free instruction from Bret Gilliam, president of TDI, Technical Diving International." What "mixed gasses" are they talking about? Nitrox? Trimix? According to your posy, Odyssey is recreational. What's the real story? Kurt > List: I posted to the Odyssey about using helium.
