Recreationall TRIMIX

[Vtach]

HMMMM, boy does this sound familiar. A few years ago there was a similiar thing being banged around like a red headed step child.......HMMMMM.......can't seem to remember....... OH YEAH! It was NITROX! Of course we know how dangerous that is based on the number of fatalities we see on a regular basis in the dive community. I think that one of the big problems is that people are too concerned with having their egos bruised because now John and Jane recreational diver are taking their precious mixed gas cert and turning it from a hard core image into a fuzzy cuddly safe recreational gas. There are quite a few people out there that get Trimix/Deco certified just so they can puff out their chest a bit and say "I'm better than you because I have this card......" This is by no means intended to offend the serious divers who pursue this training for a logical specific reason such as cave, wreck, deep exploration etc.....I am merely pointing in the general direction of the "egotistically challenged" where the primary goal is to elevate themselve above the crowd without using logical thinking. I think the key point to remember regarding this topic is that anything that can make diving safer whether its through equipment, gases or training is a benefit to everyone as long as its used correctly.
