This is the sushi winner! The single most ridiculous account ot blatent
strokery ever put on here. What made you wenies do 3 hrs of deco for a 7 minute
dive to 300 feet? We do three hours for 45 minutes at 300. Good luck, you will
need it. No wonder nothing ever gets done out there.
Call you-know-who and he can sneak it out for you and be gone by sunrise. You
guys need top take your lapengas out of your hands and the cotton out of your
ears, and find out how to do this right.

This is outrageos weenery. I did a 450 with 10 on bottom and did 45 deco,
and shot two fish.

Again, ridiculous - who is the idiot that made these tables, Jaba the Crea?
