	I've help teach god knows how many rec divers to dive at the
University of Wisconsin - Madison.  The truth is that most of them do not
want to deco.  They either don't see the need to or don't like the
concept.  My point is this, all this talk about getting other agencies to
teach rec trimix just doesn't pan out.  Financially speaking the agencies
will never go for it.  They would have to charge an enormous amount to the
student, and for that price you might as well go to gue.  The only people
the agencies are going to get are strokes that gue wouldn't take.  Second,
like I started to say earlier, how many people really want to do mix?  I
just don't see the masses flocking to trimix, with its increased
complexity, investment, and planning (even though it would be a better
gas).  Wouldn't a better solution be what already exists.  Have PADI teach
you your 'Cozumel Diving', and have gue teach you 'DIR'.  Afterall you
don't learn formula one driving in drivers ed, you go to a different
class.
