Subject: Bill Gleason and Nitrox

My how times change. In this months issue of Skin Diver (George and I are 
the only subscribers) Bill Gleason (editor) has embraced Nitrox. If you 
are unaware of the controversy, Skin Diver, several years ago, distanced 
itself from Nitrox ("Snake Oil") i.e. would not mention the word "nitrox" 
or accept any advertising from agencies promoting the use of nitrox.

It seems the editorial staff of Skin Diver now believe the "nitrox 
community" has gotten its act together (Gleason compares the improvement 
to the safety push by the cave diving community over the last couple of 
decades.)

Well, since PADI is entering the nitrox arena, I guess Skin diver had no 
choice.
