The discussion was by three of your divers who were doing a joint tech 
eanx, trimix, plus instructor and instructor trainer program all at one 
time with Tony or so they told the other swedish divers and they 
beleived them as each wore a instructor trainer shirt.. In addition the 
discussion was in depth between them and two other swedish divers. This 
claim has been stated a lot recently . according to one attendee at Tek 
the statement was made there also. In the UK it has been stated that 
ANDI started EANx diving and the same is true in other areas thus it is 
time to let folks know that it did not that it was started by Ed after 
being trained by IANTD. I do not think you can refute that

From Johan this is his story of the events
