Didn't say it was done right or wrong.  I didn't remember him using heliox,
I thought it would have been a tri-mix with an EAD of something like
150.....  In the book they document they had contacted Hamilton and he told
them heliox 12% for 380. Po2 1.5, certainly way too hot for a dive like that
these days....  Also suggested 16% t0 320 which is like 1.7!!  Wooo Dogggie,
lungs a burning!

Are you talking about Mr. Air with the air pony and slobwinder? Give me a
break - this moron never did anything right. Another of the worst examples
in diving and complete stroke in and out of the water.

JT,

In reading this.  I thought the first dives on the "Ostfrisland" was done by
Gary Gentile?  I don't remember reading that he or the guy he was diving
with used Heliox?  Maybe I just don't remember reading correctly or Gentile
wasn't the first diver on the wreck?
