Mark, I was not criticizing the concept of technical training at all. In fact, I have to commend Mount for taking the time to write a book and start an agency to do this, gathering as much information as he could, and making it available in one place. You and I agree on the solution to regulation prevention, I see, and I see we agree on the deep air issue. The thing we have here that you may not see is the teaching community pushing students to take all kinds of courses before they get a chance to work on their diving, and then they have a "step aside for the experts" attitude, which is really amusing. The cave communtiy is the absolute worst in this regard, as we have all kinds of blubbering goobs who think that what they call cave diving (dressing up in a lot of crap and pretending to do a big dive in Peacock, seven hundred times a year for twenty years) is anything but a complete joke. Real cave diving is only taught by a handfull of individuals, and is only practiced by a few more, but who am I to tell these guys how to do it right when they have been doing it wrong for so long? - G
