    I used to dive a lot in the 70's & 80's, was a member of a local scuba search
    & rescue team, etc. I have not dived in quite awhile & had disposed of my
    gear. I went to a dive shop a few daysago & picked up a used tank & regulator
    so that I can clean my boat. The tank had just been hydro'd & inspected but
    it had decals saying"enriched air" on it. The owner asked if I was qualified
    for enriched, I said no, I've never used it. So, he let most of it out
    refilled it, but said it has about 35% enriched in it, and not to go below
    100' with the mixture. I assume it is partly pure oxygen?

    Another twist, no more 'J' valves. Pressure gauges only.
