Hi Jim,

Glad You are doing it at least. but, IMO, as simple as nitrox is it Should be included in an AOW course at no extra cost. it seems to more than qualify as an advanced diver subject and it Would add the attractivness of the course in general - but then again it's also the (or close to) best profit margin courses, so i don't think we'll see a change soon.

No extra cost? Why? An extra text is required. Extra lecture time is required. There's another knowledge review and test to administer. With some agencies there's also an additional certification fee (for the second card).

If I combine nitrox with another class, it saves me two dives. I discount for that but free? That'll be the day.
