G - 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!

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. -----Original Message----- From: Art.Paltz@R2*.CO* [mailto:Art.Paltz@R2*.CO*] Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2001 8:49 AM To: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: JT - was RE: Trimix Computers 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?
