What caves does Normoxic open up?

[Draker]

In addition to opening up a few new caves, you should also consider that normoxic trimix has some great advantages in some of the caves you might already be diving. Some of the deeper sections in Madison for example.
Anything deeper than 100? and you should be considering some helium. 21/35 is a great gas for quite a few of the caves in the 120-130? depths. And I can think of several that have not already been listed.
Don?t just think 180-200?. Helium is your friend.

Just curious....Cave Connections in Crawfordville charges $150 per diver as a guide fee for Meeting House and Greyhound caves....pretty steep!
Are there other guides? If so, what do they charge?
Pretty cost prohibitive, if the same, I bet they don't get many requests, especially considering the highly variable visibility conditions in the Leon Sinks area.

They only charge the first few dives then they let you go out solo or with a vetted team. And by the way, the conditions throughout the Leon Sinks area were spectacular during the holidays. Did several dives at Emerald, Clear Cut, Meeting House and Ferrell in December, early January. Conditions were the best I've seen there over the past four years I've been diving there.

We've already discussed that as well. There's parts of Ginnie that I think a little bit of helium would be of benefit I'm sure. One point of debate I don't have a clear understanding of (obviously would be cleared up in class) is that some articles I've read increase both the deco obligation and risk of DCS significantly with helium added, yet other sources debate that. (PS: sources doesn't = post by forum members)

I think that includes an F-16 flight too.

I had to go back to the original thread to figure what that meant

Totally worth it then!
