not that i'm unappreciative of all the answers i'm getting,
about the various IANTD nitrox courses, but i'm more confused 
than when i started.....

let's see:

we have 1 vote for:	basic - 29% to 40%			
			advanced - up to 50%

we have 1 vote for:	basic - 32% and 36%		
			advanced - 29% to 40%

we have 1 vote for:	basic - 32% and 36%			
			advanced - 29% to 40%
			technical - any mix

we have 2 votes for:	basic - 29% to 36%			
			advanced - 22% to 40% with up to 50% for deco
			technical - all mixes

we have 1 vote for:	basic - 32% and 36% 
			advanced - 21% to 40% with up to 50% for deco

we have 1 vote for:	basic - 32% and 36%
			technical - any mix	

we have 2 votes for "are there really 3 levels? i thought there were
only two."

the pattern seems to be, people who took the class think basic only 
qualifies you for 32% and 36%.  people who say they are reading the 
standards all say basic is 29-36 except someone who says the standard 
says 29-36 but it should be 40 (not sure what that means).

i called IANTD directly and spoke with patty mount.  she said:

 basic - 29% to 36%
 advanced - 22% to 40% with up to 50% for deco
 technical - all mixes with 80% being the highest recommended mix

i think i'm going back to my air....
