hey, try to get the whole story before you make a complete and utter
blithering idiot of yourself.

I got minor skin bends on the dive, dove the next two days and flew home on
the third.  That's a far freaking cry from serious problems.

Tell, me more about my lack of judgement.  Tell me how you deco from your
351' dives.  I love you cyberdivers second guessing the people out there
doing the dives.

I never gave up diving or cave diving.  I backed off from doing anything
over about an hour bottom time at 300 feet.  If you would like to carry my
tanks to the water for me this weekend you can watch as a do a 5000 foot
dive at Wakulla.

Other than the above, your post was amazingly accurate.

Sincerly GFY,
Jess Armantrout
