Ken,

We DO use Argon.  Water temps are in the upper 30's!!!  Don't EVER try a
mixed gas dive in cold (or for that mater any) water using mix for
inflation!!  You wil die from hypothermea befor you finish the dive never
mind the deco.  But that is a good point.  Some people may not be aware of
that
