There is a C with bother me: people are diving deep air because of
insurance compagny... Usually these are quick to get their liability
void if you do something dangerous. So I conclude that they think that
it is more dangerous to sucba dive with trimix than with air.

Have I misunderstood the fact that the regulation preventing some to
dive with mix came from insurance compagny ? Do I mis something else ?

Please, if you have elements of answer, don't hide them in flames.
