Thank you for the information. I was wondering if the boats would let use=
 have the
full use of our Nitrox NDL (using doubles; either 72's or 80s). The air =
divers can do
their surface interval while we do our dive and then go to Molasses when =
we are done
as they usually do. Our gear almost takes less room than the typical OW =
diver since
out tanks are assembled, lights attached and we don't have to switch =
between dives.
No one would be put out unless boats are waiting for the three slots. My =
groups (4 of
use) all have Adv Nitrox (with experience on O2 and decompression), cave,=
 and rescue
or higher (I'm Assist. Instructor). It may be longer than air dives, but =
we still
have full use of Nitrox capabilities. I'll keep your references with me =
in case that
does not work out.
