....my experience is that most of the "Basic Nitrox" coursces clearly states
why,
and how Nitrox is a good thing..  As i remember form the Nitrox education
manuals
that i have read (Naui, Cmas, Iantd)., the theory was gone trough i a quite nice
manner..and i belive this is the way it's done all over the world, not just here
in Norway?  I don't know SSI so i won't arggu what you say about them, but  to
state the the recreational Nitrox diver don't  have a clue of what he is doing,
is a little bit to much, i think. or..

have i nice day :-)
