I (and probably others) would be interested in seeing the definitions for each
of these certifications. I.e: recommended depth limits, deco/no deco, gas
mixture limits, etc. Can you post them ? (maybe it would be a useful addition
to Alan Wright's Nitrox FAQ on the aquanaut server).

It is good to hear that we may soon have IANTD directly represented on the
net! I look forward to some interesting debates!

Cheers,

David.
