I think the old Advanced Nitrox was a great course in it's time. Remember that BSAC introduces small amounts of deco much earlier than other agencies. However it was never meant to be a 'techie' course and instructors were actively encouraged NOT to teach in twinsets.

I'm looking forward to the update. I think the sport mixed gas courses are fantastic. The syllabus is excellent and if taught properly the course would rival the "big two" There's damn near a DIR-F (sorry GUE-F now isn't it) in there if you look hard.
BSAC's adv EAN is badly out of date and the name confuses many people who think its an accelerated deco course (since the other agencies offering are just that). (Hey we're nearly back on thread) I really really hope that Beeserk do something like they have done with the mix courses with the AdvEAN/ERD If so this will inevitably filter back (albeit slowly) into the DL training.
With everyone finishing their SD with a nitrox ticket there's no place any more for the well worn advice to do the "combined" EAN course as
"you might as well do both at the same time". There's no place therefore for the old AdvEAN course.
Dinosaurs prepare to meet thy doom. Yeah - way to go beardie folk !!
