Josh,
I don't buy into the last suggestion about reaching NDL's before you run out of air.. Clearly there are people that do, but most *regular* diver's don't..
Just look at some of the ill-advised things that people list on here about how to gain added BT's... The lengths some will go to, but then get upset about a few extra dollars is beyond any logic that I can relate to..
In many respects people have spent over several thousand dollars to get trained and equipped, they then paid $75 - $100 to be on a one day boat, or between $200 - $300 to go on a multi day trip, so the notion of discussing $2 or $3 extra for Nitrox fills makes NO sense to me...
I've been on multi-day trips wherein we've done 11 dives in one day... Trust me I wish I had Nitrox....
Later
