Probably not likely to be hurrying back to Trimix, my kids are 4 & 6
now and it puts a different perspective on acceptable risk. Likely to
be doing diving to 40m though with some deco, which made me think some
sort of refresher might be a good idea. I have no idea how training
and attitudes have changed though, did all my bsac training between
1988-98 and IANTD from about 1998-2002.

I was a fairly regular poster on here from about 97-02, seem to
remember it was stuff like TOTW that helped keep the traffic up, as
well as the bigger audience.
