As an aside. I have been claiming recently that SSAC were working on approving Nitrox for use in recreational diving within club rules. When I got back from holiday yesterday I found out that they have now approved the IANTD certification and sanction IANTD qualified divers to use Nitrox on SSAC dives. The memo also said that it was highly likely that the ANDI course would be approved in the near future. > Where are UK mixed gas divers aquiring their fills?

He does a lot of the mixed gas training in the Uk and is chairman of IANTD UK. He is also working on the Carmellon Rebreather. I spoke to him and Peter Readey a couple of weeks ago and got a guided tour of the rebreather - they just happened to have one in the boot of the car. Nice stuff. You could get in touch with Robert Palmer at Technical Diving Limited Neighbourne Cottage, Neighbourne, Oakhill, Somerset BA3 5BQ Tel: 0749-840685 Alan -------------------------------------------- awright@gs*.bt*.co*.uk* (Alan Wright) BT, Software Engineering Centre, Glasgow, UK --------------------------------------------
