I think new students should be trained on a lot more things including nitrox

People dove and still dive just fine w/o Nitrox... I'm not against Nitrox, but it's not for everyone or every dive. I just don't think it needs to be a required element of Basic Open Water certification. Students should be made aware of it, and the advantages of it, but not have to be Nitrox certified.
