There are a couple of tangents here I guess/
1:Most (if not all) people have access to a nitrox computer or nitrox tables. BSAC teach Nitrox as a matter of course but Put Another Dollar In like you to pay for a course to be able to breath this "exotic" gas. You can debate the why's and where-for's till the cows come home but given the proliferation of deco info I do not see how having a cert card will make you any safer to dive Nitrox than someone that sat and read about it and then went out and dived it.
This leads to point 2:
What's the legality of a dive shop refusing to fill 02 clean tins because you can't flash the plastic? I understand they can tell you to bugger off if you cannot show clean tins but what's the thoughts of those that fill tins/own LDS'?
Genuine question btw and I'm cross agency with no axe to grind (apart from my playful dig at PADI (who taught me to dive))
Cheers
