Good thing the dive shop offers full refunds. I'm still fucking pissed!!!

I'm sure I'll still dive shallow (10-20ft) with my brother, but there's no way in hell I'm strapping on Nitrox tanks and hitting 100 feet or more. And I can still lobster dive in the Keys since the spots there are generally 10-15 feet.
