Personally, I feel that these should be added to the list, probably somewhere around 3-5:
"Well, I don't have any kind of training or certification to dive any other mix"
"PPO2, MOD, END, what the heck? Partial pressure is what the damn dive shop keeps doing to my tank. Why can't those morons give me a good fill. I'm goin' deep!"
"I thought the principle was 'keep it simple'. It doesn't get more simple than air"
"If I don't need it at 40 feet, why do I need it at 400?"
"MHK says Ken says Nitrox will kill me" (sorry, that was a bit below the belt. oh well)
"Green and black tanks don't go with my new pink BC. Besides, I'm more of a spring than winter"
"It's just a bounce dive. I'm just going to drop to 400 and drop my weights"
"No one on 'Seaquest DSV' ever had to use anything other than air."
