Stupid? -- I haven't an opinion.

What I don't understand is why doing something, say going to 525 feet, which is
commonly done,
suddenly gets notice when it is done using the wrong equiptment, mearly for the
sake
of using the wrong equiptment.  And by "wrong" I mean equiptment that has a
clear
superior for the given task.  In this case we have: mixed gas, surface
supplied, deep
diving subs etc.
