Mikes in Dry Drayton isnt a million miles from Royston, i'm pretty certain
they do Nitrox fills?

Fair enough!

Luck doesn't come into it. Anyone who dives something they haven't
personally tested is an idiot. Unfortunately I now need to do something
shallow next weekend to use it up.

You still want to do something next weekend then? I should be able
to do one day.

Yeah, could do. I'll pick up your tanks on Tuesday. Trouble is, with 37%,
it's going to have to be about 25m or shallower, which somewhat limits our
options. The Kyarra's out.

Why? Last time you and I dived it, I logged 28.7m max.
That's a ppO2 of 1.43 on 37%. No worse than doing the
M2 on 32%. Anyhow, I'll use the KISS so you can use my
tanks if you like.

New nitrox compressor last year.

IMHO nicer attitude than many of the local shops, no hard sell, no
bull***t.

I didn't even know they were there! Is the Nitrox 'while-you-wait', doing
two trips leaves me no better off than my current trip to Kent divers. But
thanks for that, a definite possibility.

Reasonably "while you wait", as long as you try to avoid obviously
busy times.

When I turned up at 5.15 last Saturday with two twinsets, (shop
closes at 5.00 on Saturday), Jeff politely suggested I should pick
them up on Monday!
