No, moron, you need to get real. We dive all helium based gases - the higher
the helium the better: less impairment, no micorcirculatory damage ,easier
deco, cleaner more complete deco , easier to breathe, and the results speak
for themselves. Only a complete idiot would believe that there is any reason
to use air. My bet is you can not give me a reason that is not rife with
pure ignorance. Give it a try.

35% He at 100 ft - I'm sorry but I don't believe this. I'm no advocate of
deep air but somebody needs to get real here!

The 35% would be 21-35 and the 45% would be 18-45 (with the first
number being the oxygen). The important part is that the EAD is maintained
below 100 feet and the pp02max is below 1.4, and that HYPERoxic mixes are
not used in these ranges.
18% is not normoxic (21% is normoxic), but is accepted as such
generally. You shouldn't breathe it on the surface as a matter of practice.
You need to ditch this idiot instructor who was taking you to 150,
160, 180 on air (for what I assume must have been an Advanced Nitrox
Course). Do yourself a favor now and just take the rest of your training
from GUE http://www.gue.com The link on the website that says "Classroom"
talks about the courses. There is a GUE instructor that I know in NY - his
name is Bob Sherwood. His contact information is below.
Continuing with an instructor that is teaching you such dangerous
practices as deep air will not do you any good in further classes. The text
alone is faulty and error laden, but when combined with a poor instructor
becomes a complete waste of time and money as well as a personal danger. Do
not continue your training with this idiot just to do him a favor or because
you think he is a nice guy, do yourself a favor and get proper training.
Otherwise, you will just need to be retrained and retold later how do
do all the things safely that this idiot taught you to do unsafely, so you
might as well just get it taught to you properly the first time. The
current instructor would be teaching you improper deco mixes most likely,
too, like 80% or some other stupidity, not to mention the dangerously
inadequate gear he will likely recommend and uses himself. I've been there,
don't waste your money and time learning things wrong. This guy has proven
himself an idiot already, do you really want to trust him with your life?
Try this guy, he is in NY, or check the GUE website for another
instructor in your area if you like:
