Meeow. The dive isn't that weird. Do you want to use a 120 as a stage bottle? No, of course not. Thom needs to take Advanced Nitrox and Decompression Techniques from a good instructor. Then he'll know what he can and can't do and life will become simple. He could also do GUE Tech 1 but he isn't ready for it yet. Joe had some very good advice earlier on this thread. Listening to it without the bullshit now being heaped on Thom's head would be a good idea.
