Hi There, Please do not misunderstand the message I was trying to send. Many of the Nitrox courses taught contain a great deal about the theory of Nitrox. The PADI course is particularly good for this. It's the recreational Nitrox divers that I was talking about. Get on almost any dive boat in a resort area and talk to the divers who are using Nitrox. They're the ones who generally don't have a clue to the theory of Nitrox. Mention partial pressure to one of them and they'll come back with something like "oh yeah, they talked about that stuff during my Nitrox class last year. I forgot it all two weeks after I finished the course" Take care and dive safe, Scott Some weeks it's just not worth the effort to gnaw through the restraints and scramble up out of the pit.

And BTW, that's no Dalton's law. << .....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 :-) theNJ >> -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
