. . . until someone remembers that I'm a NAUI Nitrox Qualified Diver. (And yes, that's an actual designation. Different from being certified in that I've done all the book work and tests, but haven't done a dive using the gas. My view being that if I'm going to rant about this stuff, I should know what I'm talking about, but I don't have to acutally have dove it to make the point.)
BTW, in case you're wondering WHY we have a Nitrox Analyzer, it's because we do equipment testing for the LA County Coroner for scuba fatalities and one of the things we need to do is analyze the gas mix. (They've all been 21% so far.)
