The irony continues. How many of my dives have you seen?

You should see what the local Hawaiian fishermen do. There's a huge world outside of Florida, about which you continue to demostrate vast ignorance. > You act like you know what you are talking about and hold yourself up as an > expert, Actually, I don't recall every doing that. I tell people what I have learned from my own diving experience. Magazines ask me to write articles for them - not the other way around. On rare occassions, I comply. I have never pretended to be an expert - but I have no control over what you or anyones else regards me as. For example - with rebreathers, I have said over and over - in print, in voice, and online, that I regard myself a "rebreather weenie". How does that make me someone who holds myself up to be some sort of expert? > and then make recommendations that sound like what an open water one > student would dream up, or the other people who constantly argue with me about > cave diving gear, and then tell me that "when they get certified, they will do > it their way" I'm not certified for anything but PADI's AOW program. > The stuff I recommend woll work now , will work later, will work for a > weenie dive and wil hold true for the most monster dive out there - do it right > or not at all, without reservation. That's very special. Aloha, Rich
