I'm going to have to think this one over (A slow process).
Do your tanks have stickers that your buddy can read if he looks, or are
we talking about something your buddy can read from eight feet away,
hanging on a deco line in high surge?
If the former, the tanks were marked in such a way that the buddy who was
on the trip with me could have identified them, she knew what the marks
were, where they were, and could have separated the mixes correctly. It's
conceivable that she could have done so underwater, but it would have
been quite an effort, the mixes were written in grease pencil on the neck
of the tanks. In this case, there was only one mix involved, no
switching. I see your point about switching mixes, and will have to think
that over before I switch mixes.
