Hank, the idea of only going into a wreck as far as 
you think you can get back out from is easy to understand.
It is also a very stupid idea that has killed many divers.

Welzel actively promotes this dangerous bullshit. And you
support him. Now that cind of stupidity is definitely
beyond my understanding. Unless you and he share a macabre 
sense of humour.

Tell me why you think its such a good idea to discourage
the use of guidelines during penetration dives. Give me
one rational reason.

You know, the exact body count on the Doria isn't easy to
find - as you guys try to keep it quiet. And I'm not 
surprised. But as far as the last four (or five) being
cave trained- that's irrelevant to my argument and
to yours.

If you really want to add to the debate tell us what 
percent of the Doria's Diving Dead were inside without 
guidelines. 

And don't forget, guidelines might have also helped 
some of the "Whacked Out Of My Brain On Deep Air
But Shit, I Can Figure Out How To Get Out Of Here" crew.
