Given the time constraints that define most OWI
classes, teaching the use  of multiple gases appears
impossible.

What is needed is a unification of gas use methods.

The 1st could B the elimination of 'air'; nitrox then
is taught along with the EAD concept, where air
becomes a 'special' nitrox.

One now has to come up with a set of 'reductions' that
would simplify incorporating heliox or trimix into the
above concept.  That may require coming up with a
system of specific mixes that fall, from the
standpoint of deco, within recreational limits, yet
provide ease of use. 

In the pedagological sense this unifies 'gases',
'tables' & 'decompression' for introcudtory level
classes & may b suitable to teach in a 20 h or so OWI
class.

Safe bubbles
