Hi John,
I'm a PADI C.D. and talked with Drew Richardson about this topic on Monday
of this week. Here is a synopsis of what he said ("unofficially"):
1.Release date for the Nitrox course will be at New Orleans DEMA show
2. ATA will be 1.4
3. EANx for 32 and 36 and OK to 40, though 32 and 36 will be more supported.
4. Manuals, student materials, tables, etc. will become available and will
be similar in instructional design to other PADI materials.
5. For tech instructors, fear not. PADI does not want to put the squeeze on
cross tech agency teaching so long as there are no conflicting PADI courses
(so anything above Nitrox is OK with them under the banner of another
agency).
6. No word on any OSHA ruling.
Anyway, that's the way I heard it.-Dave
