No, I am not posting a joke. I know that the FO2 does not change and we analyze our gas and mark our tanks-but try to explain this to my friend who I have gone over this with him a thousand times. Since he does not believe me,I had to go to a "higher authority." I had to use an impartial judge in order not to get into a vehement argument and keep the relationship intact. Not everyone is as Nitrox literate as we are. I will send this post to him with of course some parts snipped to make my point. I use this list to verify or dispute many matters. Since I am not an instructor, my opinions with many don;t hold water outside of the list. I appreciate all your kind responses.
