	I agree with your reasoning, but my interpretation of this posting is
that the CURRENT AVAILABLE FORMAL TECH DIVING TRAINING is such that you must
attend a Deep Air course prior to get to TRIMIX, cause most of the deco
gas theory and training is done during the Deep Air Training and just "used"
during the TRIMIX training.
	Of course, it is possible to customize a TRIMIX training that would
encompass both bottom mix and deco mix usage.

	Just my $2c worth.
