            I have just heard that IANTD is now offering "junior overhead" 
diving courses for twelve-year-olds including cave diving, and two other 
"junior" courses for twelve year olds. It seems to me that this is why kids 
have parents - to keep them from acting like armadillos crossing the road. If 
this is indeed true, then this is a new low in the "Anything For A Buck" 
category. 

            Maybe Mount can explain this one to us, and CC his "Board of 
Advisors", so we can at least see a list of who approves of this kind of 
nonsense, if indeed it is even true, which is hard to believe, and see who it 
is that is obviously trying desperately to put an end to diving as we know 
it, or at least cave and "tec" diving as we know it. I can see one of these 
newpaper headlines now, "12 year old drowns in cave, writes note to mommy on 
tank, IANTD card found in MIkey Mouse lunch box on bike". 

            What next?
