Are you nuts?
"Since Farnsworth is deeper than 60', if you want to be better assured a diver is qualified to dive there, you need to be looking for cards that specifically address the correct depth and gas. Personally, I think Farnsworth requires Nitrox and at least AOW, if not a deep specialty and propper equipment to dive, but that is up to you."
I've dove for over 30 years and made well over 100 dives deeper than 60 feet on compressed air. In fact I like diving deeper than 60 feet and probably average deeper than 60 feet most of the time. I follow the tables and have never been "bent".
I have a question for you - Why is it that most compressed air guys just want to dive and most "gas" divers just want other divers to dive their gas?? Here's a secret - it's in the dive not in the "gas" you dive!
