It ocurred to me today while conversing with George that we have been much too critical of certain individuals and their discussions regarding and obvious use of P.G.P.. I now realized that the regular use of P.G.P. by a large percentage of the cave and so-called technical diving community has resulted in an established hierarchy which might otherwise have taken years to evolve. I feel like a complete stroke for not having immediately recognized that P.G.P. saves lives in as much as it protects the diver from ever actualy doing something that would expose them to life threatening conditions, as a matter of fact most accomplished P.G.P. users are always protected since they never leave home without it. The use and effects of P.G.P. have been a major factor in the conservation results realized in the N.S.S. - P.G.P. - C.D.S. they have witnessed a great saving in time, effort and line and they owe it all to P.G.P. I think it might be helpful to look at a few of the more vocal members of the P.G.P. dive klan: Nick - I should have given more consideration to the valuable impact P.G.P. has had on Nick and his "personal preferences". P.G.P. has done its job by keeping this individual out of caves and in the g bar where he belongs. Richard - I think it is apparent that P.G.P. was able to limit Richards accomplishments to things he is most suited to like being a PADI instructor and performing horrifying acts on members of the same sex. JoeL - JoeL, Nick, Richard and the above mentioned horrific acts have some relation to the use of P.G.P., I just can't figure out what it is. Cavelime - This is perhaps the most accomplished and recognized user of P.G.P. on either of these lists. The use of P.G.P., not while sampling mind you, has kept this individual from ever accomplishing anything noteworthy , aside from embarrassing the dive team he has been associated with. For all you guys do P.G.P. is for you ! If anyone else sees some benefits from the use of P.G.P. by divers I would be interested in hearing a discussion on them. Rick
