What kind of shit is this? Promote crap to a beginner; someone who would be more
dependent and expect equipment to work so they don't fucking panic. Good Idea!!
Just because they're not doing WKPP dives doesn't mean they won't get into
trouble or have problems.
I hope all of your students see this crap you posted and realize the blatant
disrespect you have toward your training and students. If you are in this just
for the money some company pays you, get into something that you can push/peddle
that doesn't run the risk of getting somebody hurt or even killed.

Tom,I realize the students probably won't do much real diving on their own,but
is that any reason to sell them garbage? - Richard
