"Raimio", I agree with a card, but that is it. What is happening donw here is
that the agancies have divided a 30 minute class room course into three or four
levels of bogosity and several strata of cards - complete bullshit. The shop
ownsers, like that asshole mentioned before, then will not fill certain mixes
without all of these stupid cards. Anyone who cannot figure out nitrox or timix
in a half hour is brain dead in the first place.
Bob, as you know, we teach all of our own divers. It took me and Gavin about
four minutes to teach Rick Sankey and Brent Scarabin how to do this. Real
tough.
In fact, Rat was gassing their tanks (we have our own compressor, so don't have
to deal with assholes), and Bill and I were telling them how to use the gas. We
then went diving.
The myth that this is a highly technical undertaking is created
(understandably) by the fact that most people in the dive industry have the
IQ's
of a farm animal and can not understand the most basic math, can not set up
equations, and can generally not think at all. For them it is a tough thing,
akin to brain surgery or rocket science. For the rest of us, it is a joke. -G
