A friend came back from diving today and in his photos I noticed he was wearing a yellow and green tank marked "NITROX". Now he isn't Nitrox certified but he said the dive op had assured him they had just filled the tank with air. This seems a bit odd to me. If a tank is marked for one gas, I would have expected people to stick to that gas (in this context at least). Otherwise I would have thought a accident could easily ensue if the tanks were mixed up and another diver was expecting Nitrox but received air.
Is this kind of situation common practise with dive operators?
