DGX believes our hard earned reputation for professionalism and ethics can withstand a moment of humor in these challenging times. We are in good company with such preeminent organizations as the BBC. Every statement in the Oxidane advisory is demonstrably true; some would argue that presents an educational opportunity in our post-truth era... "As always, Dive Gear Express suggests SCUBA divers apply informed reasoning along with critical thinking when evaluating the information available."
Plus, ultimately isn't our hobby about having fun?

For those that don’t know, Oxidane is another word for water (H2O). Happy April 1st.
As far as whether any organization’s reputation is effected by a post, I suppose that is an individual decision we each can make and I’m not concerned about this post. A good reminder for all of us - trust but verify.

"some recreational SCUBA diving sites can potentially expose you to Oxidane"
Apparently, a lot of sites are now simultaneously contaminated with dihydrogen monoxide as well.
But I'm left wondering, if "some" sites can expose you to oxidane, what are the dive sites that don't?

Same thing. The nomenclature "Di-Hydrogen Monoxide" is a scare term used by some publications of dubious scientific merit. The IUPAC preferred scientific designation is "Oxidane". The industry funded Oxidane Foundation has declared pure Oxidane to be completely safe.

Why is the Etherfill 2000 no longer available? When will it be back in stock?
Go to their FB page. They have a great new valve. The Chimera.
