We need to take Alton public. The tec diving
bullshit is so far beyond the pale it is ridiculous.
It is only a matter of time before these guys : 1)
lose their insurance, 2) get diving regulated, 3)
cause such an uproar that the kind of diving we do
will be illegal.

Notice that they all go along with it, because the
NACD , the CDS, and the rest of the game is all run
by dive instructors who are trying to make a living
out of our sport. These people are parasites of the
worst order. I can not wait until the releases they
use to get away with bullshit start getting thrown
out,and they eventually will due to the degree to
which these people display a cavalier attitude about
human life, and the low level of trailer trash that
teaches diving for the most part these days.
