(Horray!!! A non-nitrox comment.)
(MHK states) In my view the "dive industry" such as it is is guilty of marketing everything to the extreme so why is marketing diving to 10 year olds acceptable but not marketing a gas that commercial and military diver's have beend using for decades not acceptable..
Certifying 10-years-olds is NOT acceptable in our view. That's why we at Reef Seekers refuse to do it and will hold the line at 12 (which is still on the edge). Like with nitrox, we will stand by our principles and profit or suffer from the business consequences.
