Subject: Helium on Bikini
To: techdiver@aquanaut.com
I did some more checking on diving the wrecks at Bikini.  If you go to these 
web pages:

http://www.worldofdiving.com/html/bikinidivemasters.html
http://www.bikiniatoll.com/facilities.html
http://www.bikiniatoll.com/fabioletter.html

You will see that

1)Dives go to a max depth of 170' (depth of the lagoon)
2) They no longer supply Helium
3) There is no requirement that you have advanced training unless you do 
penetration
4) They "provide twin steel 85s with isolation manifolds and the tank bands 
in place . We also have single 104s with an H-valve for those who do not have 
BCs suited for double tank setups. Either setup works just fine" and this is 
for wet suit diving.
5) They supply NITROX of up to 80% for deco (that's right stroke mix)

They are also the only operation on Bikini, so do it their way or go away.

And you thought Truk was bad!
