This make a lot of sense - yeah , right. Have you ever thought about the
fact that getting high underwater is not an answer to cold water. Have
yo ever considered that just becuse other people are doing stupid things
in Europe that you do not need to be teaching the same? Have yoo ever
thought about the fact that there are many people in Germany , like
Reinhard Buchaly , who are doing things proeprly and who disagree with
what you are saying, and that get a lot more done in diving than you
ever will with your attitude? Have you even considered that if you can
not afford the helium you do not need to be teaching tec diving, and
there is nobody holding a gun to yor head telling you to dive deep
without the right gases. Try that skydiving:" Parchutes are too
expensive so we Europeans jump out of aiplanes with umbrellas".

What is the German workd for "bullshit"? Bullshit is believing that you
can "teach" deep air diving, teach anything while deep on air, learn
anything deep on air, or do anything deep on air other than save
yourself the money you would hav spent getting high with real drugs.
Your queetion should read, "have you ever considerd the cost of
expensive imported South Ameican drugs here in Germany?".

Air diving is bullshit, and you are supposed to be teaching tec diving. 
Cold water my ass. Tell that to the Swedes.
