Re:Recreationall TRIMIX
When mixing trimix you can get helium to leak out of a tank unless you put something else in to bind with it. This happens in other areas. I was Talking to one of the MRI tech's at GE once about the helium they used in their machines. He said it did leak out over time and they had to refill it. With nitrox mixes this isn't a problem. THat being said I still will analyze every mix I dive before I get into the water. I also log these mixes and double check all of my teammates before I get in, as they do the same for me.

Say what you will about DIR, but I dove lot's of different stroke set-ups over the years before I stumbled upon DIR. Everything about the system works as advertised, and it saves money over some of the crap that is being sold as "tech gear" out there.

I can't say that I ever learned too much from any scuba course I ever took. There is just so much info on the web that you can get for free, and I have a couple of decades of dive experience to put it to use, that the courses are pretty much hoops to jump through to do the dives I want. The course that I did learn the most from never even offered a c-card, as it was considered a clinic. THat was when I got to dive with a bunch of world record freedivers in Miami a few years ago. It was one of the most informative weeks of my life

If your looking to get hammered in your course on dive planning, and execution, I would highly suggest a class from GUE. Second to that, I would recommend Greg Such as the best , local, trimix instructor.

I did happen to learn a thing, or two, the last time Deep Blue brought in a couple of GUE guys to teach the Dir-F class. I wasn't taking the class but happened to be in there when they talked about doing a 270' mix dive and flying to Milwaukee less than 2 hours later- something that you won't see in you Buhlman table. It was also discussed that if you do yur deco, meaning deep stops, correctly that you can throw out the altitude diving rules that have been so ingrained in the dive industry over the years.

That being said, I think that we have gotten off track from the rec trimix thread that this started as.
