Comments scattered within Don Burke Chesapeake, Virginia ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott <scottk@hc*.co*> S> I hate to rain on your parade, but, you are way out in left field on this one. I think not. S> Mixes like 25/35 are safer than air, to the MOD. Period. Actually, it was the 32/30 and the mysterious "36 trimix" that changed my mind. You are assuming that the tank will contain the gas advertised. Hell, getting decent _air_ to a newbie is iffy enough. Trimix for the masses needs some sort of breakthrough to fly. What did you think I meant by "The mixes discussed here _have_potential_ for use by _properly_trained_ divers." ?: S> Its easier to decompress from, easier on the bod, and the safety of the dive is improved. It is also faster to load the tissues. The idea was no-stop diving. The little bit of underwater helium deco that would actually happen on a no stop dive would be a minor player in damage to the body. Having a trimix version of a "resort course" where an OW certified diver would be _with_ the divemaster has possibilities as would a Nitrox/Trimix course instead of the current Nitrox course. Turning OW divers loose on the world with tanks of "magic stuff" is an incident looking for a location. Have you ever been in a shop with air you didn't trust? I have.
