Shirley, that should be triangle

I think it's fine that it's a limited course. If you're qualified to dive Nitrox 32 and 36 to 20m max using air tables or an air computer, then do you need complicated formulae?

For Sports Diver then the forumale and Dalton's Triangle are covered.

Personally I think it's a good thing. There are no downsides to Nitrox at Ocean Diver, and quite a few upsides, although I agree that the main benefit is to Sports Divers.

I'm due to teach a few of these workshops in the next month or two. I'll let you know how they go.

Janos,
Why is it a complicated formula? I agree with you on the upside of inroducing it in OD/SD training.

All I am saying, a little extra detail in the courses might help would be beneficial.

Let me know how the courses run. I would be intrested in your feedback.
