You said "Eventually, no one will dive "air" It does'nt make any sense when you can get nitrox."
I have been diving air since 1971 (30 years). I dive my limits, stay within the dive profile set by the boat captains, watch the tables, do my safety stops when diving deep and have never been in any type of diving accident. PS I don't use a computer just depth and bottom timer.
I have a question for you - what clear advantage does nitrox offer a diver like me?? Please don't tell me it would be safer, my record clearly indicates I only need to wear one life vest and not put another on just for added safety.
I'm not trying to jerk your chain, but I am trying to figure out why the air guys just want to dive and the gas guys want you to dive their gas.
